Q Should the exam authority revise security arrangements?
The HKCEE is an important stage in a student's life. Candidates put in painstaking efforts to deal with these important exams. They have spent about 14 years studying and working hard to succeed.
Markers misplacing papers seriously affects the future of candidates. The option of resitting the exams and receiving an assessed grade is not fair for candidates whose exams have been lost. No one can promise the candidates who resit the exam they will get the same result as the one scored in their first attempt. The possible stress of having to resit the exams may affect their performance, and is completely unfair.
Students have the responsibility to study hard and devote every effort to their exams. The markers have the responsibility to mark papers fairly, without any selfishness and personal sentiments. Keeping exam papers secure is the most important duty of the markers. The exam authority should revise security arrangements as soon as possible to protect candidates' right to a successful future.
