TSA Report Shows Steady Student Performance in Hong Kong's Major Subjects for 2025 Assessment

HKEAA submits 2025 Territory-wide System Assessment Report

​A spokesperson for the Education Bureau (EDB) today (November 20) said that the EDB had received the 2025 Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) report submitted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA). The data shows that the performance of the Primary Three, Primary Six 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 and similar compared to the results of the previous assessments.

The spokesperson said, "The TSA report assists schools in understanding students' strengths and areas for improvement in Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics. The EDB is pleased to note that schools generally agree that the TSA report can provide practical analysis and information regarding the ability and performance of students and, together with schools' related internal assessment results, enable schools to devise more suitable curriculum plans and learning and teaching strategies to further enhance students' learning effectiveness, fully reflecting the culture of 'Assessment for Learning'. 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 render full support to schools, including arranging teacher training, organising diversified 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 continuing to enhance the Student Assessment Repository as a one-stop platform for learning, teaching, and assessment with the 'Self-selected Assessments' feature added and exploring the application of artificial intelligence in the repository, with a view to providing 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."

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 2025 TSA report. Teachers can enrol via the EDB training calendar.

Student performance figures of the TSA from 2004 to 2025 are shown in the Annex. Details of the TSA are available on the HKEAA website (www.bca.hkeaa.edu.hk).
