歷史科取消試題司法覆核被駁回 法官判詞斥教育局言論屬威嚇 不認為「強國」能被試題所傷
The compulsory question in this year’s Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) History paper asked candidates to comment on whether Japan brought more benefits than disadvantages to China between 1900 and 1945. The question sparked controversy and repeated public condemnation by the Education Bureau, after which the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority announced that it would cancel the question. A candidate sitting the History examination applied to the High Court for a judicial review, seeking to overturn the authority’s decision to disqualify the question. Justice Anderson Chow Ho-man said today that the Education Bureau’s public criticism almost certainly involved political factors and contained an intimidatory element, but the court could not confirm that the conduct amounted to an abuse of power. He ruled that the authority had not breached any procedures in making its decision, dismissed the candidate’s application and ordered the candidate to pay the authority’s legal costs.
今屆中學文憑試（DSE）歷史科必答題， 要求考生評論 1900 年至 1945 年間，「日本為中國帶來的利多於弊」。試題引起爭議及教育局多次公開譴責，考評局最終宣布取消有關試題。一名應屆歷史科考生早前入稟高等法院申請司法覆核， 要求推翻局方 DQ 試題的決定。法官高浩文今日指，教育局的公開批評幾乎確定有政治因素，有威嚇成份，但是法庭不能確認這種行為屬於濫權，而考評局在作出決定時沒有違反任何程序，故裁定考生敗訴，需向考評局支付訟費。
