There will be changes in NSW! Starting from 2020.
In order to get the HSC, students need to achieve a band 8 in reading, writing and maths.
http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/4648273/year-9-naplan-and-the-hsc-what-you-need-to-know/?cs=7What happens if my child fails to achieve band 8s?
Students will have multiple opportunities between year 9 and when they complete the HSC to meet the literacy and numeracy standards.
Online literacy and numeracy tests will be available for students to sit up to twice a year in years 10, 11 and 12.
I choose to exclude my child from NAPLAN tests. What happens now?
The online tests for literacy and numeracy provide an alternative pathway to achieve the minimum standard.
My child has an intellectual disability. Will he or she be required to achieve band 8s to get an HSC?
Some students may not have to meet the minimum standard of literacy and numeracy for the HSC, according to NESA's website.
Will a failure to be awarded an HSC stop my child from getting an ATAR and attending university?
No. Year 12 students who do not meet the new literacy and
numeracy standard and do not receive their HSC will still be able to get an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and go to university.
What are the implications of this?If you are finding a job and they will ask for you to put down your educational achievements. You will not have an HSC TO PUT DOWN!
