School Reporting - MySchool
“More work is urgently needed to ensure that the information available to parents through the MySchool website assists rather than misleads” said Independent Education Union of Australia Federal Secretary Chris Watt.
“Parents have a natural interest in obtaining as much information as they can about schools and the IEUA and its members have long supported and worked for greater transparency” said Mr Watt.
“At the moment there are some very real problems with the ACARA website and the Union has sought urgent discussions with the Authority.
The Federal Executive of the IEUA met today (Friday 26 February) in Melbourne and endorsed recommendations to improve the quality of the MySchool website.
“With further additions proposed to the website it is critical that the opportunity is taken to respond to concerns and inadequacies of the current website.
“The IEUA maintains that the NAPLAN results present a snapshot at a point in time across an important but nevertheless very narrow range of learning that happens in schools.
“It will be very important to ensure that teachers’ commitment to continue to improve our children’s literacy and numeracy skills is supported and not at the expense of the other important learning opportunities that children currently experience at school said Mr Watt.
