Following a 12-month Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) trial, Education Ministers have agreed to permanently remove test limits for candidates sitting the LANTITE. The trial showed removing test limits and providing improved feedback led to more candidates sitting the test and meeting the standard, and the changes were received positively by candidates and higher education providers.
This change will allow all candidates to continue to improve their personal literacy and numeracy skills to ensure they can meet the required standard to become a teacher. Higher education providers continue to play a key role in supporting their students to meet the standard. This delivers on Action 11 of the National Teacher Workforce Action Plan.
