Under the epidemic, all primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong will not be able to return to school to resume face-to-face classes in the new school year. The Education Bureau today (18) announced the latest sub-examination for admission to secondary school. The Education Bureau recommends that schools try to arrange students to take the test from September to early October.

According to the Education Bureau, about 70% of schools have completed the internal performance assessment for the next semester of Primary Five, and half of the remaining 30% schools have cross-border students. Considering that the time and arrangement for the resumption of classes for primary six cross-border students in Hong Kong has not been determined, schools with cross-border students may face difficulties. In order to give schools greater flexibility in completing the sub-examination for admission to secondary school, the Education Bureau allows cross-border students The school may choose to combine the two sub-examinations in the second semester of Primary Five and the first semester of Primary Six. The Education Bureau will adjust the internal results of each school according to the same mechanism. In addition, the Education Bureau’s letter to schools stated that schools may consider seeking Mainland sister schools or suitable service providers to arrange for cross-boundary students to be assessed in the Mainland.

The Principal Assistant Secretary of the Education Bureau Yung Po-shu said in the "Beauty Human Language" today that the Education Bureau has met with representatives of the principal in the past few weeks to discuss the response plan for the secondary examination in the epidemic.

Schools can replace sub-examinations with assessment results such as quizzes and online learning

Under the current allocation mechanism, primary schools must submit their students’ internal assessment results to the Education Bureau three times during the second semester of Primary Five and the first and second semester of Primary Six. The Principal Assistant Secretary-General of the Education Bureau, Yung Baoshu, stated in the "People's Language of the Bureau" today that the Bureau of Education has met with representatives of the principal in the past few weeks to discuss the response plan for the sub-examination for promotion to the middle school under the epidemic.

The Education Bureau recommends that schools plan for sub-examination as soon as possible. If the epidemic has subsided and if feasible, try to arrange student exams or make-up exams from September to early October. If after reviewing the school-based situation, the school finds that there are practical difficulties and cannot take the exam, it may consider conducting an internal professional assessment for the student concerned, instead of the school performance evaluation in the second semester of Primary Five. Exams, quizzes, online learning, quizzes or other progress assessment performance and other materials to evaluate the scores of each subject.

Regarding cross-border students, the Education Bureau stated in the "Bureau of Human Language" that schools with cross-border students are allowed to choose to merge the second semester of Primary Five and the first semester of Primary Six. The Education Bureau will follow the same mechanism. Adjust the internal results of each school. According to the Education Bureau, according to previous analysis, this approach will have less impact than exempting the overall cross-border students from reporting their results at one time, and can maintain the fairness of the system. On the same day (18th), the Education Bureau's letter to the principals of all primary schools in Hong Kong stated that schools may consider seeking sister schools or suitable service providers in the Mainland to arrange for cross-boundary students to be assessed in the Mainland.

In order to reduce the risk that the epidemic will repeatedly affect the "sub-examination", the Education Bureau urges schools to review and formulate school-based assessment mechanisms and strategies as soon as possible, and to consider different contingency measures. If the internal examination fails to be held as scheduled due to the epidemic, schools can also follow the rules. The school-based professional continuous evaluation mechanism evaluates the performance of fresh students. Schools should consult parents and the Incorporated Management Committee or the School Management Committee on the relevant arrangements for continuous assessment and "sub-examination".

The Education Bureau described this as a flexible arrangement under the uncertainty of the epidemic. According to past data analysis, it is believed that this approach will not have an institutional impact on the fairness of S1 allocation.
