2024 TSA Report: Students give out stable performance in Chinese, English, and Math

A spokesman for the Education Bureau (EDB) today (Nov. 4) said that the EDB had received the 2024 Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) report submitted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA).

As compared to that of last year, the performance of the Primary Three and Secondary Three students participating in the assessment of the three major subjects of Chinese Language, English Language, and Mathematics this year remains generally steady.

​"Since the enhancement measures rolled out in 2018, the TSA has been implemented according to its policy intent and position as 'a low-stake assessment with emphasis on feedback' in a satisfactory manner without increasing the burden on students," said the spokesman.    

The HKEAA will later provide primary and secondary schools with school-level data at Primary Three (only for schools with the participation of all their Primary Three students) and Secondary Three levels directly for use as feedback on learning and teaching. The EDB will not obtain reports of individual schools from the HKEAA. Concerning the 2024 TSA report, the EDB will hold thematic seminars on "Promoting Assessment for Learning" in November and December to promote and support schools and teachers in making effective use of assessment data and information to enhance learning and teaching. Teachers can enroll via the EDB training calendar.

Student performance figures of the TSA from 2004 to 2024 are shown in the Annex. Details of the TSA are available on the HKEAA website.
