It also needs to be supported with resources
But aggregated data on performance of students overtime is critical to making evaluations on things like class sizes and curriculum effectiveness

You are misunderstanding the data that is being gathered and delivered. It is not simply aggregated data on the performance of students. For some reason the Ministry of Education and more specifically the Minister of Education, needs the granular and personal data of the students.
There is absolutely no good reason for an elected politician to receive the personal data of students. Here, Lisa can tell you about it and show you the pages on the GoA website.
