澳大利亚最新NAPLAN测试结果揭示教育不平等现象加剧。[1]来自不利背景的学生与优势背景学生之间的学习差距正在迅速扩大，这一趋势在阅读和数学两个科目上均有体现。[1]
在阅读能力方面，差距扩大最为明显。[1]Year 3学生的阅读差距从2023年的1年10个月扩大到2026年的2年2个月；[1]Year 7学生的差距从2023年的4年11个月增至2026年的5年6个月；[1]Year 9学生的差距则从2023年的6年扩大到2026年的6年8个月。[1]
数学方面，Year 7学生的差距从2023年的5年3个月增至2026年的5年11个月，[1]Year 9学生的差距从2023年的6年8个月增至2026年的7年9个月。[1]这些数据反映了澳大利亚教育系统中存在的结构性不平等问题。[1]
Australia's latest NAPLAN test results have exposed a widening achievement gap between students from disadvantaged and advantaged backgrounds, with disparities accelerating particularly in secondary school years.[1] The data, reflecting significant changes to the NAPLAN testing and reporting framework in 2023, demonstrates that disadvantaged students are falling further behind across both literacy and numeracy.[1]
Reading gaps have expanded dramatically across all measured year levels. Year 3 reading disparities grew from 1 year 10 months in 2023 to 2 years 2 months by 2026, while Year 7 gaps widened from 4 years 11 months to 5 years 6 months over the same period.[1] The trend intensifies at higher grades, with Year 9 reading gaps increasing from 6 years to 6 years 8 months.[1] Mathematics shows similarly concerning patterns, particularly in secondary years: Year 7 mathematics gaps expanded from 5 years 3 months to 5 years 11 months, and Year 9 gaps grew from 6 years 8 months to 7 years 9 months.[1]
These findings underscore persistent structural inequalities within Australia's education system. Research suggests that comprehensive school approaches may offer potential pathways to address these deepening disparities.[1]
