Can students appeal against SBA results?
The HKEAA will extend the appeals system to the rechecking of marks awarded by schools under SBA, but not to the re-assessment of the students’ performance. The assessment criteria and standards will be made known to students so they will be well aware of their progress and their standing during the two years. They will also have plenty of opportunities to follow up on school assessments with their teachers. Schools will be provided with administrative guidelines to ensure that SBA is implemented fairly and will be required to retain relevant evidence of students’ progress and performance to address any formal complaints and queries.
