Virtual Open Day and Information Seminar Marking the HKDSE’s 10th Anniversary
2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the HKDSE. Since its launch, the HKDSE has been an important credential for senior secondary students furthering their studies locally or overseas, or pursuing a career. With the concerted efforts of the education sector, the HKEAA is proud to have assessed the attainment of about 645,000 HKDSE candidates, and marked nearly 9 million scripts in the past decade. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the HKDSE and enhance public understanding of the inner workings and development of the HKDSE, the HKEAA has recently organised Virtual Open Day and HKDSE Online Information Seminar.
The Virtual Open Day showcases both the Scanning Centre and Assessment Centre located in Tsuen Wan. The virtual tour features 16 virtual locations, providing a diversified virtual experience through guided tours, videos and presentations to audience online. The tour allows the public to understand the handling and marking of answer scripts of the HKDSE.
Meanwhile, the HKDSE Online Information Seminar was held on 28 August 2021 with nearly a thousand parents, candidates, teachers and members of the public joining the event. During the seminar, representatives from the HKEAA introduced to them the marking and grading of the HKDSE, quality assurance mechanism, administrative arrangements and streamlining assessment arrangements for the 2022 HKDSE, as well as assessment arrangements for the 2024 HKDSE in relation to the optimising measures for senior secondary core subjects.
