Education and Early Learning Minister Prue Car has announced the NSW government will take immediate action as part of a broader review of the impact on student learning and assessment in the state. The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is actively considering a moratorium on unsupervised, take-home assessment tasks on the minister’s request, with interim measures to come into effect in schools from the start of Term 4. Projects for some subjects, such as major art or design and technology assessments, may be exempt from such a ban.
