On 12th April the AEU Federal Executive imposed a moratorium on the national NAPLAN tests, based on the view that it would be inappropriate to use the results of the test to publicly brand students and schools as failures in “league tables”.

The PSA, as with all disputes involving other unions, calls upon PSA members not to undertake the work of any colleagues taking industrial action. This is a dispute over the role of teachers and the NAPLAN tests. SSO duties are not affected, and SSOs should continue to only undertake their own regular duties. It is the PSA view that SSOs can not be required to perform tasks that clearly form part of the professional role of teachers.
