Education Council
On 13 December 2013, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to streamline the Ministerial Council system. Eight Councils are now responsible to COAG and will be engaged in work requiring COAG’s attention.
The COAG Education Council provides a forum through which strategic policy on school education, early childhood and higher education can be coordinated at the national level and through which information can be shared, and resources used collaboratively, to address issues of national significance.

Review of NAPLAN Online 2019 Connectivity
At Education Council’s 13 September meeting, Ministers were briefed on of the technical issues relating to NAPLAN Online 2019 connectivity disruptions. Parts of the technical infrastructure inadvertently flagged some content as a threat to the NAPLAN Online platform. The platform protected itself from this perceived threat. This slowed web traffic and led to the issue which degraded the overall experience for some students during NAPLAN Online 2019 testing.
