This paper reports on the perceptions and experiences of primary school teachers of the challenges thet faced and the prospects of using data from Annual National Assessments (ANAs). While the majority stated that information from the ANAs can assist teachers to improve learning, responses on the use of the ANAs in the classroom were mixed, with most reporting that teachers did not know how to use the ANA results to improve learning, and that no plans were in place at their schools for the use of ANA data.
