Episode Details

NAPLAN results reveal Australian students are improving in numeracy across years 5, 7 and 9, but literacy skills are declining with age. Concerns are growing that excessive digital device use may be creating a gap between handwriting and typing abilities, prompting education ministers to consider returning to pen and paper tests. Croydon Park Public School in Sydney's inner west is being highlighted as a success story, with students improving across reading, writing and numeracy through targeted support programs.
