Hong Kong DSE exams have now started. All of us here at The ChalkFace wish all students the best of luck with their exams.
Temperature checks, masks and desk distancing play key roles as schools open doors for coronavirus-delayed exams.
More than 52,000 candidates will take the month-long Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) exams – originally scheduled to begin on March 27 – at about 350 exam centres located at secondary schools around the city.
Friday’s first exam was to involve 3,300 Visual Arts students, who would begin their written tests at 8.30am at 51 exam centres. The exams will continue through May 25.
Students have been reminded to arrive about 40 minutes early to undergo temperature checks and disinfection. Those with temperatures exceeding 38 degree Celsius will be asked to leave and see a doctor promptly, with their assessments then based on internal school results.
One hopes that for Hong Kong at least the worst of the pandemic is behind us and life will soon be able to start returning to some semblance of normal.
