Teachers have hailed the NSW government's condemnation of NAPLAN as a death knell for the test, even though the federal government insists it is not going anywhere.

At a meeting of education ministers on Friday, Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham said the national test was supported by parents, who considered it a valuable update on their child's literacy and numeracy skills.

"NAPLAN will not be going away any time soon because it is an important deliverable in terms of giving Australian parents information about how their child is tracking," he said.

A review of the test, looking at concerns such as child stress and whether the results were misrepresented, was expected later in the year.
