15 主席序言 Chairman’s Foreword The HKEAA also faced other chal lenges in the Year 2019/20, including the controversy over a data-based question in the History examination in the 2020 HKDSE. After due and careful deliberations, the Council decided to invalidate the question concerned and endorsed a mark adjustment mechanism to protect the best interests of candidates. The Council’s decision was upheld by the court in the subsequent judicial review with costs awarded to the HKEAA, and the judgement acknowledged that the Council’s decision was procedurally proper and was based on independent, professional and academic considerations. This incident reinforces my belief that the HKEAA, in fulfilling its pivotal role in Hong Kong’s education system, will continue to uphold its independence and professionalism and to enhance the various aspects and processes of the HKDSE, with a view to providing a fair, impartial and credible examinations and assessment system which meets the needs of education and the society. 考評局在2019/20年度亦面對其他挑戰，包括 2020年文憑試歷史科試卷其中一條資料回應 題引起之爭議。委員會經過審慎周詳的商議 後，決定取消有關試題，並通過擬定調整分 數機制，以保障考生的最大利益。在其後的 司法覆核中，法庭維持委員會的決定，考評 局並獲支付訟費。法庭在判詞指出委員會的 決定程序恰當，而且是基於獨立、專業和學 術的考慮。這次事件讓我更深信，考評局在 香港教育體系扮演的重要角色，並會繼續以 獨立和專業的態度優化文憑試不同範疇的機 制和程序，提供公平公正、不偏不倚及具公 信力的考評服務，以切合教育與社會的需要。 在文憑試核心科目開考當天到訪學校，了解筆試的情況，並為考生打氣。 Cheering for candidates and observing the administration of the written examination of the first HKDSE core subject
