I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) Education
ministers nationally are yet to confirm the start date of 2016 for NAPLAN
online. Currently, each school's readiness is being assessed from an
information technology perspective. This will assist in informing the education
ministers' decision on whether the start date of 2016 is suitable.
(2) Not applicable.
