How our children are assessed inevitably drives the method of teaching throughout the school system. Parentkind’s national parent survey revealed this week that already 31% of primary school children are expected to have a personal device for schoolwork. If one accepts that digital delivery of education is, for a majority of people, an inferior teaching method producing inferior educational outcomes, it remains acutely important that the major assessments, including the baseline assessment, do not move online. I see these amendments most definitely as seat belts, not red flags.
