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」。

高中中史及歷史優化課程框架出爐 新增課題包括中共成立 2030年DSE起適用
The Education Bureau issued a circular to schools today (the 3rd), announcing the enhanced curriculum frameworks for senior secondary Chinese History and History. The new frameworks are planned for full implementation in Secondary 4 in the 2027/28 school year and will apply to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education examinations from 2030 onwards. Based on the existing curricula, the enhanced Chinese History curriculum updates some topic content, while the History curriculum updates and consolidates content from different topics. In terms of assessment, the Education Bureau said both subjects would introduce more diverse and objective question types.
Under the latest curriculum framework, the compulsory part of Chinese History will continue to be divided into Parts A and B. Part A, “Ancient Chinese History”, is divided into five historical periods covering the period from ancient times to the mid-Qing dynasty. Part B, “Modern Chinese History”, is likewise divided into five historical periods. Compared with the existing framework, new topics include “The Founding of the Chinese Communist Party” and “The New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics”. The elective component will be reduced from six units to three.
History currently consists of the introduction “The Making of the Modern World”, Theme A “Modernisation and Transformation in 20th-Century Asia”, and Theme B “Conflict and Cooperation in the 20th-Century World”. Under the new framework, there will be three units. Unit 1, “The Formation of the Modern World”, includes topics such as the colonial expansion of imperialist countries and resistance in Latin America and Asia. Unit 2, “War and Peace”, covers the two world wars and the Cold War, among other topics. Unit 3, “China and the World”, covers the period from the founding of the Communist Party to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, as well as China’s development and achievements. The History elective component will also be restructured into two units, of which students may choose one.
教育局今（3日）向學校發出通函，公布優化高中中國歷史科及歷史科課程框架。新課程框架擬於2027/28學年在中四級全面推行，並適用於2030年及以後的香港中學文憑試。優化課程以現行課程為基礎，其中中史科更新部分課題內容；歷史科則更新及整合不同課題的內容。評核方面，教育局表示，兩科均會引入更多元性及客觀性的題型。
根據最新課程框架，中史科必修部分繼續分為甲、乙兩部分，其中甲部「中國古代史」劃分為五個歷史時期，內容涵蓋上古至清朝中葉；乙部「中國近現代史」同樣劃分為五個歷史時期，對比現有課程框架，新增的課題包括「中國共產黨的成立」、「中國特色社會主義新時代」。選修部分則由以往6個單元減至3個單元。
歷史科現設引言「現代世界的孕育」、主題甲「二十世紀亞洲的現代化與蛻變」及主題乙「二十世紀世界的衝突與合作」。新框架下設3個單元，包括「現代世界的形成」，課題包括帝國主義國家的殖民擴張及拉丁美洲和亞洲的反抗；單元2「戰爭與和平」涵蓋兩次世界大戰、冷戰等；單元3「中國與世界」則涉及共產黨創建到中華人民共和國成立、中國的發展與成就。歷史科亦重設選修部分，設兩個單元，可二選一。

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。

為內地學生報考DSE被拒 深圳教育中心指考評局差別對待 獲批司法覆核許可
The Shenzhen International Curriculum Centre applied this year for 62 Mainland students to take the 2025 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination as private candidates. However, because the centre was unable to provide official proof of its operation as an educational institution, the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority ultimately rejected the applications of 54 students. The other eight successfully applied after meeting other requirements.
The centre filed an application for judicial review in the High Court on Wednesday (6th), saying it had also applied on the students’ behalf to take the 2024 Diploma examination and had been approved. It argued that the HKEAA rejected the 2025 applications despite no change in the application requirements, alleging that the authority had misinterpreted the examination rules and treated candidates differently, and asking the court to quash its decision. The case was dealt with on Thursday (7th), when Judge Ko Ho-man granted leave for judicial review. The hearing is tentatively scheduled for December.
深圳國際課程中心今年為 62 名內地學生，以自修生身分報考 2025 年香港中學文憑試，但因中心未能提供官方辦學證明，最終 54 名學生被考評局拒絕報名，另 8 人因符合其他條件，成功報考。
該中心周三（6 日）入稟高等法院申請司法覆核，指中心亦曾代為報考 2024 年文憑試並獲批，然而考評局在報考條件沒有改變下，拒絕 2025 年的報考申請，認為考評局錯誤理解考試規則、差別對待考生，要求法庭推翻考評局的決定。案件周四（7 日）處理，法官高浩文批出司法覆核許可，暫定於 12 月聆訊。

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。
