Abstract

For Year 12 students, the last two years have been like no other. Pandemic shutdowns led to online delivery and other disruptions, placing additional pressures on what seems to be the most important year of many students’ lives. Mission Australia found that students have been concerned about how their final assessments will take into consideration the challenges of lockdown learning. Some found the stress too much, completing their schooling without sitting final exams. Consequently, they are not given an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).

Co-authored with the Monash Centre for Youth Policy and Education Practice Youth Reference Group, this Policy Bite considers the question: 'How important is the ATAR?'
