1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 2: Down at the j and A arms the pub test today. 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: Naplank does it pass the pub test? 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 3: Yes, it's kicked off again for years three, five, seven 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 3: and nine. It's to study well, it's to look at 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 3: literacy and numeracy annually. It's nationwide. We found last year 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 3: that one in three Australian school students don't meet the 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: literacy and numeracy benchmarks, and the results from the year 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 3: before weren't much better. So what they're saying is if 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 3: we're pinpointing the inadequacies, why aren't we fixing them. It's 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 3: designed to show where we are to make the education departments, 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 3: the education I guess the schools as well accountable. The 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 3: pressure should not be on the students, but the students 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 3: take on a lot of this stress. How do you 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 3: feel nap plan does it pass the pub test? 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 4: I think if your child is gifted and above average, 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 4: then it's good to know that, And if your child 18 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 4: is struggling in a certain areas then I also think 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 4: it's very important to know where those areas are. 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: Yes, because you see where your child's at and no, 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: because it stresses them. Our my child couldn't go to 22 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: bed the night before and yesterday morning was like, oh 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: my goodness, her Judora is high in the nats RAM 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: marking them and everything, so she wants her to get 25 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: high in the test, so it really stresses her out. 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 5: It could if it was done properly. I'm an authentic 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 5: industrial arts fea jump with over forty years experience in 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,919 Speaker 5: the classroom. Hi. South Wales and state level and federal 29 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 5: level do not spend enough money to making plan and 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 5: useful fool. 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: I think the writing in the English is very good. 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: I think the language conventions is good. I don't put 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: a whole lot of store by the reading because it's 34 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: totally multiple choice and so I don't think that's particularly valid. 35 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: But the writing is an excellent test. 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 6: The reason that doesn't pass the pub test is because 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 6: the curriculum in our school change but doesn't change to 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 6: improve literacy and numeracy, and that schools prep kids unbelievably 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 6: from that plan, so that the results aren't necessarily an 40 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 6: accurate account of how kids are going. At an international level, 41 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 6: Australia is dropping globally in terms of its literacy, numeracy 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 6: and educational standards. We need to overhaul the entire education 43 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 6: system 44 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 5: Well reading, writing, arithmetic,
