Submission to the Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Youth Affairs

invites submissions to its Inquiry into Standardised Testing in ACT Schools

by Dr Mark Drummond, August 2018

Abstract

Comparative analyses based on the best available data indicates that over the history of

NAPLAN's operation from 2008, the ACT performed best in NAPLAN, relative to other

parts of Australia, from about 2010 till about 2014. Throughout the years from 2008 onward,

the ACT has performed best in the Reading component of NAPLAN, followed by

Punctuation and Grammar, then Numeracy, Writing and Spelling, or something very close to

this. Of the eight States and Territories, NSW has almost certainly been the strongest

performer in NAPLAN overall throughout NAPLAN's history, though there is abundant

evidence that Victoria has performed close to NSW levels. All school systems can benefit by

examining the strengths of other systems, but it appears as though ACT can especially benefit

from the approaches to teaching and learning that seem to be working so well in the NSW

school system. The NAPLAN performances of Victoria, Tasmania and other parts of

Australia indicate that a best possible Australian school system, with potentially immense

benefits for the ACT and beyond, and for precious children above all, is there for the taking if

stakeholders are willing to take matters seriously enough.

Introduction

1. This submission principally addresses the national comparison part of item 2(a) of the

terms of reference – namely: "The level of achievement of ACT schools compared to similar

counterparts nationally". The submission is based largely on the NAPLAN results data and

comparative analyses presented in the four Appendices A to D at the end of this submission,

beginning on page 9 below, and I'm happy for the Standing Committee on Education,

Employment and Youth Affairs to use my data any sound way it wishes to, and I'm also

happy to pass on the Microsoft Excel spreadsheets used to compile the data tabulations

shown in the appendices here.

2. I applaud the Committee on its broad terms of reference, with item 4 on "Any other

relevant matter" obviously being especially welcoming and empowering to people hoping to

make submissions to this inquiry, so really well done on that, and thank you!

3. With more time I'd have liked to have been able to make another submission here akin

to one I wrote in November 2009 for an Assembly Committee's Inquiry into the Educational

Achievement Gap in the ACT, as at

https://www.parliament.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/372704/09_Drummond.pdf,

Page 3: Submission Cover Sheet · NSW (509.6). (see page B-7 of the November 2009 submission) 6. My submission here is based on comparative analyses I've carried out using mean NAPLAN and

2

but for this current Inquiry I'm able to provide an update on some State and Territory

NAPLAN performance comparisons I began in 2009 based on the NAPLAN results for

NAPLAN's first year of operation, in 2008.

4. My November 2009 submission referred to above noted that for 2008 NAPLAN

results:

Of the 20 sets of NAPLAN results generated across the four years and five

components tested, the ACT achieved the highest mean average scores, and hence a

ranking of 1, in 9 of these 20 components, compared to 4 for NSW and 7 for VIC, as

shown in the table below which compares just the ACT, NSW and VIC. (see page B-8

of the November 2009 submission)

5. My November 2009 submission also noted that when comparisons were made of

metropolitan areas only, the ACT achieved the highest mean average scores, and hence a

ranking of 1, in 5 of the 20 NAPLAN components, compared to 8 for NSW and 7 for VIC

(see table on page B-9), and it stated that:

... the 2008 NAPLAN results of VIC metro and NSW metro were superior to those of

the ACT overall, and hence provides extremely strong evidence, again, that (1) the

ACT's average overall 2008 NAPLAN results would have been well below the

corresponding results for the parts of Sydney and Melbourne with socioeconomic

status matching that of the ACT, and (2) the NSW and VIC education systems are

probably superior to the ACT system overall. (see just below the table on page B-9 of

the November 2009 submission)

and

In four year average (4YA) terms [taking mean averages of results for Years 3, 5, 7

and 9], the overall ACT mean (512.0) was below that of VIC metro (516.2) and NSW

metro (515.0), very slightly below that of VIC (512.3), and slightly above that of

NSW (509.6). (see page B-7 of the November 2009 submission)

6. My submission here is based on comparative analyses I've carried out using mean

NAPLAN and participation rates scores reported in the ten annual NAPLAN reports for

NAPLAN's first decade of operation, for the years 2008 till 2017, for which complete

finalised data is now available online via https://www.nap.edu.au/results-and-reports. The

mean NAPLAN score comparative analyses reported herein are for: (1) the eight States and

Territories and Australia overall; (2) the four NAPLAN years of Years 3, 5, 7 and 9; (3) the

five NAPLAN components of Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, and

Numeracy; and (4) three different student cohorts I have selected as most meaningful to

analyse. The three student cohorts I have analysed are:

(1) the full State and Territory student cohorts – providing data for comparisons

referred to herein as STU (State-Territory unit) level comparisons ... which have some

face value significance, but limited scientific value as they don't provide valid like-

with-like comparisons owing to the fact that the ACT's socio-economic status is

significantly higher than that of the six States and Northern Territory;

(2) cohorts of students living in the metropolitan areas or major cities, or closest

approach thereto, of the eight States and Territories, providing data for comparisons

referred to in this submission as STU Metro comparisons ... which again have some

face value significance, but still limited scientific value as they still don't provide

valid like-with-like comparisons owing to the ACT's socio-economic status being

much higher than not only all of the States and Northern Territory as wholes, but also

much higher than that of Sydney, Melbourne and all other Australian cities; and

(3) the cohorts of students with at least one parent who possesses a Bachelor degree or

higher qualification – providing data for comparisons referred to herein as STU

Degree Educated Parents comparisons, for years 2010 to 2017, after such data first

became available in 2010 ... a data set likely to provide a very sound – and probably

the best available – basis for scientifically valid like-with-like comparisons of the

performances of the eight States and Territories in NAPLAN.

7. The systems that have been used to subdivide and classify metropolitan areas, major

and minor cities, regional or provincial localities, and so on, within the eight States and

Territories, have varied throughout NAPLAN's 11 year history, such that Tasmania and the

Northern Territory have in some years not included any metropolitan area component or

major cities. So for Tasmania and the Northern Territory their most urban or populous

settlement categories have been used in the STU Metro comparisons in such years. In 2016

and 2017, for example, the "inner regional" and "outer regional" data have been the closest

approaches to major city or metropolitan area data available for TAS and NT respectively,

and as such have been used as the "STU Metro" data for TAS and NT in Appendix B below.

8. References to the ACT's performance in NAPLAN refer to the mean scores achieved

across the whole ACT school system relative to the corresponding mean scores of NSW,

Victoria, the other States, the Northern Territory, and Australia overall, as provided in the

annual national NAPLAN reports available online via https://www.nap.edu.au/results-and-

reports. No results described herein refer to any specific school or school sector. Mean

scores are for all schools, government and non-government alike. So my submission

compares the school systems just at whole of State and Territory levels, in line with the data

available via https://www.nap.edu.au/results-and-reports.

9. My submission now proceeds in a kind of Socratic dialogue format, with questions

followed by responses highlighting relevant evidence from the data presented in the

appendices provided at the end of this submission and referred to often below.

Some Important Questions and Attempts to Answer Them Based on the Annual

NAPLAN Data Evidence Compiled in the Appendices at the End of This Submission

Question 1: Whereas the ACT achieved the highest mean scores in seven of 20 NAPLAN

components in 2008 (20 being 5 x 4, for the five components of Reading, Writing, Spelling,

Grammar and Punctuation, and Numeracy, and for the four testing Years 3, 5, 7 and 9), based

on full STU level comparisons, as in paragraph 4 above (on page 2), how many highest mean

scores – or Number 1 rankings in other words – have the ACT and other STUs achieved over

all 10 years 2008 through to 2017, in comparisons based on STU level mean NAPLAN score

data?

Response to Question 1: As Table 1 (which is the same as Table AT1 in Appendix A on

page 36 below, and a summary of results shown in other tables in Appendix A) below shows,

for STU level comparisons the ACT has achieved between seven and 14 Number 1 ranks, out

of 20, in all of the first 10 years of NAPLAN's operation, with the highest number of Number

1 ranks being 14 – as achieved in 2011, 2013 and 2014, and the lowest number being the

seven achieved in 2017. Table 1 indicates that the ACT's best NAPLAN performances

occurred over the half decade period from 2010 to 2014.

Question 2: Whereas the ACT achieved the highest mean scores in five of 20 NAPLAN

components in 2008, based on STU Metro level comparisons, as in paragraph 5 above (on

page 2 again), how many highest mean scores, or Number 1 Rankings, have the ACT and

other STUs achieved over all 10 years 2008 through to 2017, in comparisons based on STU

Metro level mean NAPLAN score data?

Response to Question 2: As Table 2 (which is the same as Table BT1 in Appendix B on

page 64 below, and a summary of results shown in other tables in Appendix B) on the next

page shows, for STU Metro level comparisons the ACT has achieved between three and eight

Page 6: Submission Cover Sheet · NSW (509.6). (see page B-7 of the November 2009 submission) 6. My submission here is based on comparative analyses I've carried out using mean NAPLAN and

Number 1 ranks, out of 20, in all of the first 10 years of NAPLAN's operation, with the

highest numbers of Number 1 ranks being 8 – as achieved in 2012, and the lowest number

being the three achieved in 2017. Table 2 again indicates that the ACT's best NAPLAN

performances occurred over the half decade period from 2010 to 2014. NSW and Victoria

have both slightly outdone the ACT in these comparisons, especially in the years of 2008,

2009 and 2015 to 2017.

Question 3: How many highest mean scores, or Number 1 rankings, have the ACT and other

STUs achieved over the eight years 2010 through to 2017, in comparisons based on STU

Degree Educated Parent level mean NAPLAN score data?

Answer to Question 3: As Table 3 (which is the same as Table CT1 in Appendix C on page

92 below, and a summary of results shown in other tables in Appendix C) below shows, for

STU Degree Educated Parents level comparisons the ACT has achieved between zero and

three Number 1 ranks, out of 20, in all of the eight years 2010 to 2017 in which this data has

been available for comparison, with the highest numbers of Number 1 ranks being three – as

achieved in 2010 and 2011, and the lowest number being the zero achieved in 2017. The

outstanding feature of Table 3 is its extremely strong evidence that NSW has the best school

system in Australia – which raises two obvious questions: (1) have ACT school children and

the ACT community as a whole benefited or been harmed by its decision decades ago to

break away from the NSW school system, or would the ACT community have been better off

if ACT schools remained within the NSW school system; and (2) moving forward, should the

ACT return its schools to the NSW system? The results in Table 3 here indicate that these

questions shouldn't be avoided, swept under the carpet or dismissed lightly at all – to say the

least! The participation rate data shown in Appendix D (pages 93-100 below, with non-

partipation data defined as 100 per cent minus the participation rate percentage) further

highlights the conspicuously strong performance of the NSW school system. I'm not a

supporter of selective schools, which are numerous in Sydney, and more numerous in NSW

than any other part of Australia, but there's little likelihood or evidence that NSW's strong

NAPLAN performance is due to the fact that it has large numbers of selective schools. For

many decades NSW and Victoria have clearly had world class school, and it has always been

difficult for schools in the ACT – with school based curriculum development going back

decades, and broader school based management going back several years, to match the might

of the obviously world class NSW and Victorian systems with their formidable structural

integrity – in expertise, discipline (including resistance to excessive experimentation – with

innovations able to be rolled out on firmer foundations, to better effect), human capital, and

corporate memory and knowledge generally.

Question 4: Of the five NAPLAN testing components of Reading, Writing, Spelling,

Grammar and Punctuation, and Numeracy, which has been the ACT's best area, second best,

worst, and so on, over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation, from 2008 to 2017, relative

to Australia as a whole at least?

Response to Question 4: Reading has been by far the ACT's strongest NAPLAN

performance area, followed by Grammar and Punctuation. Spelling has been by far the

ACT's weakest NAPLAN performance area, Writing has probably bene the ACT's second

weakest area, and Numeracy has most been the ACT's third best area of performance. These

observations are strongly supported by abundant evidence in the comparative tables in

Appendices A to C and other comparative analyses I've carried out in Microsoft Excel

spreadsheets which I can provide to the Committee, but haven't had time to transfer over into

further Appendices for this submission.

Question 5: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in the Reading

component of NAPLAN over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation, from 2008 to 2017?

Response to Question 5: Tables CR1 to CR12 on pages 65-68 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CR11 and CR12 – provide strong evidence that the ACT and Tasmania

Page 8: Submission Cover Sheet · NSW (509.6). (see page B-7 of the November 2009 submission) 6. My submission here is based on comparative analyses I've carried out using mean NAPLAN and

7

have performed the best in the Reading component of NAPLAN, at least from 2010 till 2017

when degree educated parent data has been available to enable sound like-with-like

comparisons. It's important to keep in mind, however, that throughout most of NAPLAN's

history, students sitting NAPLAN in the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania, NSW and SA have been a

quarter to half a year or so older than their counterparts in the other four STUs on average –

with the WA and QLD students being by far the youngest. Students in the ACT, NSW, VIC,

TAS and SA have been of very similar ages throughout NAPLAN's history, so it's probably

the case that the best like-with-like NAPLAN performance comparisons possible are among

these five STUs using the Degree Educated Parent data presented in Appendix C, and also

taking into account the participation data in Appendix D here to further support sound

interpretation and conclusion forming.

Question 6: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in the Writing

component of NAPLAN over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation, from 2008 to 2017?

Response to Question 6: Tables CW1 to CW12 on pages 69-72 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CW11 and CW12 – provide strong evidence that NSW and VIC have

performed best in the Writing component of NAPLAN, at least from 2010 till 2017 again.

Question 7: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in the Spelling

component of NAPLAN over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation, from 2008 to 2017?

Response to Question 7: Tables CS1 to CS12 on pages 73-76 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CS11 and CS12 – provide very strong evidence that NSW has been by far

the best performing STU in the Spelling component of NAPLAN, at least from 2010 till 2017

again, with corresponding data in Appendices A and B indicating that NSW was also the best

in 2008 and 2009, so apparently the best, by far, throughout the period 2008 to 2017. It

should be noted that because the socioeconomic profiles of the six States are all quite similar,

in terms of educationally significant factors such as parental education levels, the data shown

in Appendices A and B can provide quite sound like-with-like comparisons for the States of

NSW, VIC, TAS and SA.

Question 8: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in the Grammar

and Punctuation component of NAPLAN over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation, from

2008 to 2017?

Response to Question 8: Tables CG1 to CG12 on pages 77-80 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CG11 and CG12 – provide very strong evidence that NSW has been the

best performing STU in the Grammar and Punctuation component of NAPLAN, at least from

2010 till 2017 again, with corresponding data in Appendices A and B indicating that VIC has

been close to the NSW level.

Page 9: Submission Cover Sheet · NSW (509.6). (see page B-7 of the November 2009 submission) 6. My submission here is based on comparative analyses I've carried out using mean NAPLAN and

Question 9: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in the Numeracy

component of NAPLAN over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation, from 2008 to 2017?

Response to Question 9: Tables CN1 to CN12 on pages 81-84 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CN11 and CN12 – provide strong evidence that NSW has been the best

performing STU in the Numeracy component of NAPLAN, at least from 2010 till 2017

again, with corresponding data in Appendices A and B again indicating that VIC has been

close to the NSW level throughout the period 2008 to 2017.

Question 10: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in NAPLAN

overall, over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation from 2008 to 2017, based on equally

weighted averages of mean scores across the five NAPLAN components of Reading, Writing,

Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, and Numeracy?

Response to Question 10: Tables CM1 to CM12 on pages 85-88 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CM11 and CM12 – provide strong evidence that NSW has been the best

performing STU in NAPLAN overall, at least from 2010 till 2017 again, with corresponding

data in Appendices A and B again indicating that VIC has been close to the NSW level

throughout the period 2008 to 2017.

Question 11: Which of the eight States and Territories have done the best in NAPLAN

overall, over the first decade of NAPLAN's operation from 2008 to 2017, based on weighted

averages of mean NAPLAN scores with weightings of 12.5% for each of Reading, Writing,

Spelling, and Grammar and Punctuation, and a 50% weighting for Numeracy?

Response to Question 11: Tables CE1 to CE12 on pages 89-92 of Appendix C below –

especially Tables CE11 and CE12 – provide further strong evidence that NSW has been the

best performing STU in NAPLAN overall, from 2010 till 2017, with corresponding data in

Appendices A and B again indicating that VIC has been close to the NSW level throughout

the period 2008 to 2017.

Thank you again for providing the opportunity to provide submissions to your Inquiry, and

all the best with it!

Yours sincerely,
