中史考大躍進、公社效果 考評局：多未答正面作用 教師料盼訓練多角度思考 非為「洗白」
This year’s Chinese History and History papers in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) both included questions on China before reform and opening-up. One Chinese History question required candidates to analyse the “effects” of the Great Leap Forward and the People’s Commune Movement. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority said in the Question Compilation published yesterday that most candidates had failed to grasp what the question was asking. In line with the question requirements, candidates had to analyse both the positive and negative aspects, but many failed to identify the positive effects of the two movements. A Chinese History teacher said that, based on the historical facts, the Great Leap Forward did indeed have more negative effects, so it was understandable that candidates focused on the negative aspects. The teacher believed the HKEAA was seeking to use the question to train students to think from multiple perspectives, rather than to “whitewash” the Great Leap Forward.
今年中學文憑試（DSE）中史科及歷史科均有題目考問中國改革開放前情况，其中中史科有題目要求考生分析「大躍進」和「人民公社化」運動的「效果」。考評局昨日出版《試題專輯》指出，大部分考生未能掌握該題所問，按題旨，考生須從正負兩邊分析，惟不少考生未能寫出兩場運動的正面效果。有中史科教師認為，按史實「大躍進」的負面影響確實較多，考生側重寫負面可以理解，料考評局盼以該題訓練學生「多角度思考」，不認為是為大躍進「洗白」。

考評局｜補習導師四度質疑「錯答案」 局方堅持「設題無誤」 學者：題目有缺陷、答案不合理
With the release of the DSE results imminent, a tutor for Business, Accounting and Financial Studies found that the answer to a question in last year’s examination appeared to be wrong. The tutor contacted the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA), expressing concern that users might continue to apply an incorrect concept and have their learning affected, and requested a review. The HKEAA initially replied that it did not comment on individual questions and would not consider an appeal. After the teacher raised questions four times, the authority continued to insist that the question had been set correctly, but did not explain its reasoning.
《集誌社》 approached the HKEAA and accounting scholars for comment. The authority said that after receiving the inquiry, it had reviewed the question’s reference answer, which was accepted by the chair of the paper and the markers after review. It stressed that there had been no unusual circumstances during the marking process, but did not repeat that the question had been set without error. Zhaoyang Gu, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s accounting school, described the question as having been set with “flaws” and said the reference answer was unreasonable.
DSE 文憑試放榜在即，有企業、會計與財務概論科目（下稱企會財科）導師發現，去年文憑試一條題目的答案疑出錯，向考評局查詢，表明擔心使用者沿用錯誤概念影響學習、要求局方覆核。局方最初回覆稱「不評論個別題目」、「不考慮上訴」，老師四度質疑下，仍堅持「設題正確無誤」但沒解釋理據。
《集誌社》向考評局和會計學學者查詢。局方指收到查詢後，已檢視題目參考答案，經檢視後獲試卷主席及閱卷員接納，強調閱卷過程未有異常情況，但未有再提「設題無誤」。中大會計學院教授顧朝陽則形容該題目出題「有缺陷」，參考答案不合理。

DSE首設公民科 94.1%日校考生達標 考評局：不應與通識科比較
The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination results will be released tomorrow morning. This year, 18,314 day school candidates achieved the minimum university admission requirement of “332A”, accounting for 45% of all day school candidates and representing a 2.6 percentage-point increase from last year. This was the first year that Civic and Social Development was examined, and 94.1% of day school candidates achieved a result meeting the standard. Reporters questioned whether the high rate could give the impression that candidates could pass the subject without studying much, and whether it could lead other overseas universities not to recognise it. Choi Siu-kwan, the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority’s Head of Assessment Development, said Civic and Social Development should not be compared with Liberal Studies because the curricula, lesson time, assessment models, grading and reporting systems were very different.
中學文憑試明早放榜，今年共有18,314名日校考生考獲大學入學最低要求，即「332A」，佔整體日校考生45%，較去年上升2.6%。今年是首屆公民與社會發展科考試，當中高達94.1%日校考生取得達標成績。記者質疑，高達標率會否予人「考生唔使點溫書都考到呢科」、「咁高達標率令到其他海外大學唔認可呢一科」。考評局評核發展主管蔡筱坤稱，不應將公社科與通識科作比較：「因為畢竟課程、課時，考核嘅模式，同埋評級、匯報制度係兩個非常之唔同。」

警拘23歲本地女子 涉上載應屆DSE試卷到小紅書
A person earlier allegedly uploaded the answer booklet for the current Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination English listening paper to the mainland social media platform Xiaohongshu. Police yesterday arrested a 23-year-old local woman surnamed Lau on suspicion of contravening the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority Ordinance. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority said in a press release that it was fully assisting the police investigation. Preliminary evidence showed that all cases involving online reposting of examination questions identified so far occurred only after the relevant subject examinations had ended, and therefore had no impact on the confidentiality of the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination.
有人早前涉嫌將應屆中學文憑試的英文科聆聽卷答題簿，上載到內地社交媒體平台「小紅書」。警方昨日拘捕一名23歲本地姓劉女子，涉嫌違反《香港考試及評核局條例》。考評局發新聞稿稱，正全力配合警方的調查，而初步證據顯示，目前發現涉及網上轉載試題的個案，均於相關科目考試完結後才發生，因此對文憑試的保密工作沒有影響。

900萬元系統再故障 監考易停用報到易續用 考評局：有做壓測
The Easy Check-in and Easy Invigilation systems, developed at a cost of nearly HK$9 million for use in check-in and candidate identity verification respectively for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination, malfunctioned for two consecutive days. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority announced last night that Easy Invigilation would be suspended from today and attendance would instead be checked manually on paper, while candidates would continue to check in using Easy Check-in. HKEAA Secretary General Xiangdong Wei said it would take some time to fix the problem and that the authority did not want it to affect the examinations ahead. The authority disclosed that it had completed stress testing with the contractor a month and a half ago, without third-party testing being involved; the cause of the problem is still under investigation. Francis Fong Po-kiu, honorary president of the Hong Kong Information Technology Federation, estimated that if the system failure was unrelated to network or traffic problems, it could have been caused by too much data overlapping simultaneously, or by a programming problem. He suggested that the authority and the developer remove the errors and conduct sufficient user and stress testing.
斥資近900萬元研發、分別用作中學文憑試報到及核對考生身分的「報到易」及「監考易」系統連續兩日故障。考評局昨晚宣布今起停用「監考易」，改用人手紙本方式點名，考生則繼續用「報到易」報到。考評局秘書長魏向東稱需一段時間才可修復問題，不希望問題影響接下來的考試。局方透露，個半月前與承辦商完成壓力測試，不涉第三方測試，問題成因仍待調查。香港資訊科技商會榮譽會長方保僑估計若系統故障不涉網絡或流量問題，不排除是太多數據同時重疊出事，或程式設計有問題，建議局方與開發商移除錯誤，並作足夠的用家測試與壓力測試。

DSE首設內地考場約110人應試 考評局稱標準同樣嚴謹 強調公民科無損認受性
The Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) will begin next week. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) earlier announced that, on a pilot basis, examination venues would be established in the Greater Bay Area. The two mainland venues introduced this year are in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, with about 110 candidates sitting the examination at the two locations. HKEAA Chairman Samuel Wing Ki Yung said the standards at the mainland venues were equally rigorous as those in Hong Kong. He also said replacing Liberal Studies with Citizenship and Social Development did not affect the examination’s recognition by overseas institutions, saying he had “never heard” of any university requiring applicants to sit another public examination instead.
中學文憑試（DSE）將在下周開考，考評局早前宣佈以「先行先試」模式，在大灣區設考場。今年首設的2個內地考場分別在深圳及廣州，約有110名考生在兩場地內應試。考評局主席容永祺表示，內地考場標準與香港一樣嚴謹，又指以公民科取代通識科不影響海外院校對該試的認受性，指「從未聽聞」有大學要求申請者須考其他公開試取代。

DSE首於內地2校設考場 試卷放保密箱上鎖 跨境點對點運送 考評局指可全程衞星及閉路電視監察
The HKEAA announced on Tuesday (6th) that, starting this year, it would pilot the establishment of Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination venues at designated locations in mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area. The two venues are Hong Kong Pui Kiu College Longhua Xinyi School in Shenzhen and Guangzhou Jinan University Hong Kong and Macao Children School. A total of 110 eligible Form Six students at the two schools have registered for the examination. Hong Kong and Macao candidates at the two schools may sit the examinations at their schools, covering the examination days for 10 written papers. Other candidates must travel to examination venues in Hong Kong as private candidates, while all candidates taking the English oral examination must sit it in Hong Kong.
考評局周二（6日）公佈，今年起以先行先試模式，在大灣區內地城市指定地點設立香港中學文憑考試（HKDSE）考場，兩個考場分別位於深圳的「香港培僑書院龍華信義學校」，以及廣州的「廣州暨大港澳子弟學校」，兩校有 110 名合資格中六生報考。兩校的港澳考生可於原校考試，涉10個筆試的考試日。至於其他考生須以自修生身份前往香港試場應考，不過，所有英文口試考生都須來港應考。

傳文憑試英文科口試轉網上應試 考評局：研究顯示大致可行、未有實施時間表
Online reports have claimed that the HKEAA plans to move the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination English speaking exam online. In response to an enquiry from The Independent Media, the HKEAA said it had invited schools to conduct a feasibility study since 2021. The results showed that the arrangement was “broadly feasible”, and participating teachers and students also responded positively. It stressed, however, that there is currently no implementation timetable. It will continue to consult different stakeholders and pledged that the changes would not affect the quality or fairness of the DSE.
網上有指考評局擬將中學文憑試英文科口試轉為網上應試，考評局回覆《獨媒》查詢時指，自2021年起邀請學校進行可行性研究，結果顯示「大致可行」，參與研究的師生亦反應正面，但就強調暫無實施時間表，未來會繼續諮詢不同持份者，承諾有關改動不會影響中學文憑試的質素與公平。

4間學校申請做DSE內地試場 校長稱保管試卷更嚴謹 勿擺地牢免水浸
At least four schools for the children of Hong Kong people have applied to become DSE examination venues in mainland China, but ensuring examination fairness and preventing the leakage of examination papers have become key concerns. Lai Bing-wah, principal of Dongguan Jinan University Hong Kong and Macao Children School, which has applied, said on a radio programme that the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority has stricter requirements for storing examination papers than in Hong Kong. For example, it requires that the papers not be stored below the second floor to avoid flooding, that the room should not have windows, and that the papers should be kept in a safe. He disclosed that none of the four schools that have applied has yet been approved as an examination venue.
至少4間港人子弟學校申請成為DSE內地考場，但如何確保考試公平和考卷不會洩露，成為關注重點。有份申請的東莞暨大港澳子弟學校賴炳華校長在電台節目表示，考評局對試卷存放要求比香港更嚴謹，例如要求試卷不要儲放在二樓以下避免水浸，房間不應有窗，試卷亦應儲放夾萬。他透露現時4間申請學校，都未獲批成為試場。

DSE考生投訴「買卷」太貴違私隱條例 考評局：收回成本、用者自付原則
DSE candidates may apply to the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) for copies of their answer scripts and marking records, commonly known as “buying scripts”. The first subject costs $380, with each subsequent subject charged at $104. Obtaining copies of their scripts helps candidates understand whether any marking errors were made. A current-year candidate complained to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data that the fees for “buying scripts” were too high. The HKEAA had previously not offered a lower-cost electronic option for obtaining scripts. Although it introduced an electronic option this year, it reduced the fee for the first subject by only $20. The candidate questioned whether this complied with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, which prohibits charging fees for accessing personal data that are “excessive”.
DSE考生可向考評局申請取回答卷複本及評分紀錄，俗稱「買卷」，首科申請要支付380元，其後每科以104元計算，考生取得答卷複本後，有助了解答卷有無改錯。有應屆考生向私隱公署投訴「買卷」收費過高，考評局過往未提供價格較低的電子取卷方式，今年即使提供電子選項，但只在首科申請減20元。考生質疑不符《私隱條例》不得收取「超乎適度」的查閱資料費用。
