Privately run school rankings site riles union
Updated Tue Jun 8, 2010 7:21pm AEST
The Australian Education Union wants another website publishing school rankings based on NAPLAN test results to be closed down.
In February the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) ordered the closure of a similar site that charged for written reports.
The union's South Australian president, Correna Haythorpe, says its federal executive will tomorrow discuss the latest Better Education website, which is funded by advertising.
"We don't believe there's any difference between a website that sells a list of league tables as opposed to one that offers it for free and has private advertising on the website," she said.
"We have an opportunity through the Senate inquiry that is now happening at a federal level, but also with ACARA about this particular website and we'll be raising those concerns there."
But a spokesman for the Better Education website, Hong Wang, says he is providing a public service to parents in Australia and abroad.
He says advertising on the site covers the cost of domain hosting.
"It also provides additional information such as school results, scholarship information and so on," he said.
"We never sell any information and basically it's a hobby."
