The 2020 HKDSE Examination was released today (22nd). Some young persons in custody achieved satisfactory results in the examination.

They applied for a total of 44 test papers, 30 of which achieved Grade 2 or above, accounting for 68.2% of the total papers. The subjects they applied for included four core subjects: Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics and General Education, as well as economy, tourism and hospitality. Two elective subjects.
One of the candidates from the Cape Collinson Correctional Institution obtained a maximum of 20 points in six subjects, which met the basic admission requirements for admission to a local university.
In addition, a candidate from the Pik Uk Correctional Institution got 23 points in six subjects last year, but only got two grades in Chinese and English subjects. He has made persistent efforts this year and determined to retake the English subject, as he wished to obtain a grade three in the exam, and meet the basic admission requirements of the local university. He hopes to successfully enter the university to study as a social worker and use his own experience to help people in need in society.

Assistant Director of Correctional Services Department (Rehabilitation Services) Wen Mingqi said that persons in custody who take public examinations and obtain recognized academic qualifications will help them increase their chances of being hired after release. It will also help them to continue their studies and prepare for reintegration into society. .
Wen Mingqi continued that it is not an easy task for young persons in custody to participate in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination. Most of them only had a junior high school degree before entering the institute, and it took less than a year to catch up with the three-year high school curriculum. In the process, the trainees showed determination and perseverance to study and overcome difficulties in learning. The support of their families and the careful guidance and assistance of the staff and teachers of the Correctional Services Department also gave them great encouragement. He also called on the public to give the rehabilitated persons a fair opportunity, accept and support them to return to the community.
