The National Assessment Program (NAP) is an initiative in Australia designed to evaluate the educational performance of students across the country. It primarily focuses on assessing literacy and numeracy skills in students from different year levels, ensuring that they meet national standards. The program helps identify areas where students excel and where improvements are needed. One of the key components of the NAP is the NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy), which is conducted annually for students in years 3, 5, 7, and 9. The results from these assessments provide valuable data to schools, educators, and policymakers, guiding decisions to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
