Celebrating 45 Years of Excellence
The HKEAA enters its 45th Anniversary in 2022. To mark this significant milestone, the 45th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony with the theme of ‘Professional. Equitable. Reliable’ was held at its Tsuen Wan Assessment Centre on 28 September 2022. We were much honored to have Mr Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration, Dr Choi Yuk-lin, Secretary for Education, and Professor Xu Kai, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Educational, Scientific and Technological Affairs, the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR, to officiate the event.
The Guest of Honour Mr Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration, extended his congratulations on the 45th Anniversary of the HKEAA. He and the officiating guests also toured the facilities of the Tsuen Wan Assessment Centre to learn about the development of examinations and assessment technologies and how they facilitate learning and teaching. The technologies showcased during the tour included the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) Diagnostic Feedback System, the new Public Examinations Support System (PESS) and the Onscreen Marking System (OSM), etc.
Mr Samuel Yung, the HKEAA Chairman, expressed his gratitude to all the guests and partners in the education sector for their support to the HKEAA over the years in his welcome remarks. Looking back at HKEAA’s development, he said, ‘Quality examination and assessment services are an important part of educational development and talent nurturing. Reliable qualifications can help drive young people’s upward mobility. Whether it is the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE), Hong Kong Higher Level Examination (HKHLE) or Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) of the past, or the present Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE), the examinations held by the HKEAA have always enjoyed widespread recognition internationally and among local institutions and employers. Over the years, many youngsters have embarked on enriching learning and life journeys, on the strength of their qualifications obtained through public examinations.’ Please visit here for the highlights of the ceremony.
On this occasion of the 45th Anniversary, a wide array of events will continue to unfold throughout the year 2022/23 to enable the public and different stakeholders to have a deeper understanding of the HKEAA’s services and development. The planned activities include seminars, Research Forum, etc.
