Abstract

The primary purpose of the NAP–ICT Literacy 2025 technical report is to detail the technical aspects of the assessment. It outlines the key activities undertaken in the design, sampling, data collection, analysis, and reporting phases of the national sample assessment. The 2025 cycle marks the seventh national assessment of ICT literacy. Notably, the 2025 assessment was administered in May, a shift of 5 months from previous cycles, which were held in October. For this reason, changes in achievement between 2025 and previous cycles of the NAP–ICT Literacy assessment should be interpreted with some caution. The NAP–ICT Literacy 2025 assessment was based on a nationally representative sample of 6412 participating schools with 10,251 participating students, of which 5,498 were from Year 6 and 4,753 were from Year 10. The weighted national school response rate when including substitute schools was 90% for Year 6 and 82% for Year 10.
