Civics and Citizenship
The National Sample Assessment in Civics and Citizenship commenced in 2004. Samples of Year 6 and Year 10 students participate in this assessment.
Every three years samples of Year 6 and Year 10 students from across Australia are tested on their civic knowledge and understanding and the skills and values needed for active citizenship.
The 2010 NAP — Civics and Citizenship assessment was undertaken by over 7200 Year 6 students from 335 government and non government schools and over 6400 Year 10 students from 312 schools. The participating students were from both government and non-government schools.
The next NAP — Civics and Citizenship will be undertaken in 2013.

New: The 2010 National Assessment Program—Civics and Citizenship (NAP—CC) Public Report has now been released. In 2010, NAP—CC measured not only students' skills, knowledge and understandings of Australia's system of government and civic life but also surveyed their attitudes, values and participation in civic-related activities at school and in the community. The Report presents a national comparison of Year 6 and Year 10 student performance against the assessment framework for NAP—CC, as well as results broken down by gender, cultural background and geographical location. |
