Students can sit for the HKDSE after completing six years of secondary education, in which more diversified subjects and methods of assessments are offered. The HKDSE comprises Categories A, B and C subjects and a Standards-referenced Reporting approach is adopted for reporting the results of Category A subjects.

Recognition of this qualification has been acknowledged and well received by many universities and professional educational bodies both locally and worldwide, offering Hong Kong secondary students a wider choice of pathways to pursue their own interests.

To assist schools in improving their teaching and learning, we are also administering the Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) for primary schools and secondary schools on behalf of the Education Bureau.

In collaboration with over a hundred examination boards and educational institutions, we conduct a wide range of examinations that help students to pursue further studies overseas or develop their interest in other areas such as music and dance.
