Key Points

• The NAPLAN annual assessment, completed by 1.3 million students in March, shows that many children — particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds — are still falling through the cracks.
• The Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority described this year's results as broadly 'stable'.
• The federal government says it has made the biggest investment in public schools ... worth $16 billion over the next 10 years, with funding tied to real and practical reforms.
