During the course of the review, the Task Force had some initial thoughts, for instance, subsiding candidates with special educational needs, funding some IT developmental projects, and provision of vacant school premises to meet the HKEAA’s strategic development needs. With the support of the EDB, I am optimistic that the solutions would minimise the deficit and help HKEAA become more financially sustainable in the longterm. A quality workforce is always the most valuable asset of the HKEAA. Based on the outcome of training needs analysis, we have for the past two years implemented leadership development strategy to drive strategic planning and reforms, in order to provide effective and reliable services. To retain and attract talents, we have initiated a Pay and Benefits Review even under the pandemic with the goal of ensuring the attractiveness and competitiveness of our remuneration package. Besides, a new initiative, ‘Learning Circle’, is built for staff to promote an active learning culture and to keep abreast of the latest development in the assessment and examinations field. Assessment for Learning As a statutory body, the HKEAA will continue to value input from any sector of the society. Being in possession of a vast amount of assessment resources and expertise, we cherish every opportunity to contribute to the society in an independent and professional manner. To further our contribution to the education sector, the HKEAA will build on its expertise in promoting ‘Assessment for Learning’ through the provision of useful assessment information to schools to enhance their teaching and learning. It is always our pleasure to share our rich examination data accumulated over the past decades with the education community. By developing the HKDSE Diagnostic Feedback System, past HKDSE assessment data are calibrated and statistical models are built allowing students and teachers to get instant feedback. Moreover, the HKEAA has conducted a study on the mechanism for predicting the results of all Category A subjects in the 2020 HKDSE for school candidates, which could be a contingency measure in case the HKDSE could not be conducted under extreme conditions. All these developments are implemented to pave the way for the sustainability of the HKEAA in the long run.
