N1 - Includes bibliographical references. T1 - A sociological analysis of Australia's NAPLAN and my school senate inquiry submissions De-politicalisation and de-marketisation of children is argued as urgently needed to foreground a critically considered 'best practice' when promoting or measuring educational progress and performance.", Adultification, we argue, is a side-effect of individualisation, managerialism and neo-liberal government policy played out in Australian schools and exposing children to the harsh realities of political, economic and social life.
Qualitative critical analysis of 270 submissions to NAPLAN's 2010 Senate Inquiry demonstrates adultification in Australian schools, with children subjected to developmentally inappropriate expectations, pressure, stress and precocious knowledge in response to NAPLAN testing and reporting.
Adopting a critical theoretical lens, we question if Australian high-stakes standardised testing and reporting, National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) and My School, evidences adultification of childhood experience in primary and secondary schools. Sociologically, this disjuncture is conceptualised as adultification.

The results can assist teachers by providing additional information to support their professional judgement about students’ levels of literacy and numeracy attainment and progress. They also provide schools, states and territories with information about how education approaches are working, areas to be prioritised for improvement, and those schools requiring support in the teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy. The tests support monitoring and evaluating of the performance of schools and school systems in these fundamental capabilities. NAPLAN results allow parents/carers and educators to see how students are progressing in literacy and numeracy over time – individually, as part of their school community, and against national standards. It is a nationwide measure through which parents/carers, teachers, schools, education authorities, governments and the broader community can determine whether or not young Australians are developing the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the critical foundation for other learning and for their productive and rewarding participation in the community. The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
