HKEAA submits 2026 Territory-wide System Assessment Report
**********************************************************
The spokesperson said, "The TSA report assists schools in understanding students' strengths and areas for improvement in Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics upon completion of the key stages of learning. The EDB is pleased to note that the TSA continues to be implemented smoothly under ongoing enhancement arrangements. The school sector has widely made use of the data from the assessment report, together with schools' internal assessment results, to optimise curriculum plans and learning and teaching strategies, thereby further enhancing students' learning effectiveness and serving the purpose of 'Assessment for Learning' of the TSA. The EDB expresses its gratitude to the school sector for continuously adopting diversified teaching strategies and measures to cater for the different needs of students, and raise teaching effectiveness.
"The EDB will continue to work closely with all stakeholders and review the operation and effectiveness of the TSA in a timely manner, with a view to enhancing its function of 'Assessment for Learning'. At the same time, the EDB will render full support to schools, including arranging teacher training, organising diverse activities and providing appropriate school-based support services, to strengthen teachers' professional capacities. Meanwhile, the EDB will continue to develop learning and teaching resources, such as continuously enhancing the Student Assessment Repository as a one-stop platform for learning, teaching and assessment, and exploring the application of AI in the repository to provide schools and students with a more flexible and diversified platform with instant feedback, catering for the different needs of students and enhancing their learning interests and abilities. Currently, the 'Student Self-selected Assessments' feature has been activated on the platform to encourage students to engage in self-learning outside classroom according to their individual needs."
In addition, in line with the EDB's strategy of promoting digital education, the HKEAA is taking forward the phased transition of the TSA to electronic assessment (e-TSA), with a view to achieving full transition by 2031. The HKEAA will announce the relevant arrangements in due course according to the progress of the implementation plan.
The HKEAA will later directly provide primary and secondary schools with school-level data for use as feedback on learning and teaching. With a view to promoting and supporting schools in making effective use of assessment data and information to enhance learning and teaching, the EDB will hold thematic seminars on "Promoting Assessment for Learning" in December with regard to the 2026 TSA report. Teachers may enrol via the EDB training calendar.
Student performance figures of the TSA from 2024 to 2026 are shown in the Annex. Details of the TSA are available on the HKEAA's website (www.bca.hkeaa.edu.hk).
