<p>The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) requires all Initial Teacher Education (ITE) pre‑service teachers (PSTs) to demonstrate personal literacy and numeracy skills within the top 30 per cent of the adult population. To meet this requirement, PSTs must undertake the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE), administered externally by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), during their first year of enrolment in an ITE program. Multiple test attempts are permitted; however, each attempt must occur within an approved ACER test window and attracts a separate fee.</p>
<p>This zero‑credit‑point unit is designed to monitor and record PSTs’ progress in completing both the literacy and numeracy components of LANTITE.</p>
<p>Recognition of proficiency in a First Nations language, as verified by an appropriate cultural authority, is accepted as an alternative standard for eligible First Nations language speakers.</p>
<p><strong>Graduation Requirement:</strong></p>
<p>To graduate from an ITE program, PSTs must successfully meet the required standard in both the literacy and numeracy components of LANTITE. Attempting the test alone is not sufficient. PSTs who meet the required standard in either or both components on their first attempt are not required to re‑sit those components. PSTs who do not meet the required standard must re‑sit the relevant component(s) until the standard is achieved.</p>

<p>Practice LANTITE tests are available on the ACER website, once registered to sit LANTITE.</p>
