Dear Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority,

I am writing to request access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) to the following documents:

Requested Documents:

The NAPLAN Literacy and Numeracy test papers for Years 3, 5, and 7 for each year from 2017 to 2025, inclusive.

- The corresponding test administration guides, scoring guides, marking guides, and/or answer keys for each of the above papers.

- I note that ACARA has previously declined release of NAPLAN materials under exemptions relating to copyright or concerns regarding future test integrity. However, I wish to proceed with an FOI request so that ACARA may consider:

1. Whether any exemptions apply specifically to each requested document,

2. Whether partial access, redacted access, or release with conditions is possible, and

3. Whether the public interest test supports disclosure of some or all materials given the age of some test years and the educational value of transparency.

If any documents are considered exempt in full or in part, I request that ACARA provide:

1. The specific exemption(s) relied upon,

2. Reasons for the decision,

3. Consideration of whether access can be given to edited copies under s.22 of the FOI Act, and

4. The possibility of providing documents under alternative licensing or with copyright conditions attached.

I also request that, where documents are available in electronic form, they be provided electronically.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Wang
