Tasmanian teachers will boycott NAPLAN testing as part of escalating industrial action over pay and conditions. The Australian Education Union has instructed members not to administer or support the national literacy and numeracy tests for students in years 3, 5, 7, and 9. This action is a response to ongoing pay negotiations and proposed public sector job cuts, with further action planned if an improved offer is not made.
