Growth of literacy and numeracy skills, 2010 to 2012: Tables 5 to 7
Tables 5 to 7
In 2012, we were able to measure growth of students from testing in 2010. Growth cannot be assessed in Writing as the type of
test changed in 2011, hence the use of ‘na’ in respect of Writing.
Tables 5,6 and 7 show the average growth in literacy and numeracy with the third column showing the percentage of boys who
did better than would have been expected over the two years since they last sat NAPLAN tests, or at least as well as expected.
