It seems that the Hong Kong government is considering further delay or cancellation to the DSE exams.
Education officials in Hong Kong are mulling contingency plans for the city’s university entrance examinations following a one-month postponement caused by the coronavirus pandemic, as further delays or even cancellations loom.
The Post has learned the government has consulted publicly funded universities over the likely impact of pushing back again, or calling off entirely, the Diploma of Secondary Education assessments.
And some university leaders have agreed that if the exams had to be delayed to July, the start of the new school term should be postponed to October, according to a government source.
Secondary school principals who spoke to the Post said candidates should still receive a final grade for university admission in case the DSE exams were eventually cancelled.
It is difficult to see how the exams could be conducted given the current situation in Hong Kong and the stringent social distancing guidelines that now exist.
