李潤強:
抱歉現在才有時間回應你的問題。為教統局指有小學管理層教唆學生缺席教署新設定的校內小三和小六基本能力評估﹝TSA),當日我都是從新聞報告中得悉這事,亦窺他們想得出用這一招來逃避,我們想也沒有想過。相信只有津校才會這樣,官校就不曾聽聞(官校校長經常要一同開會或見官面訓),我們更於考試前夕用中央廣播提醒學生切勿缺席。於是我也開始去想為什麼津校會有此舉動,最後我終於明白,但這是我個人看法和推敲,事實是否如此則不得而知。
首先你要知三、六年級之TSA十分刺激,五月考口試;七月初考筆試。
中文口試像會考形式,採三人對話。
英文口試-
(三年級)考Picture Description、讀一段文章和應對。
(六年級)考五分鐘個人Presentation、讀一段文章和應對。
例如:(三年級)圖中有一小孩在路上踏單車,問:「What can you see?」若答:「I can see a boy. He is riding a bicycle.」假設3分,你猜學生能拿多少分?答案是只得1分。正確是要答:「It is a suuny day. I can see many tall buildings and many trees. I can see a boy. He is riding a bicycle. He is going to the park.」
考試是以抽樣形式進行,考試當天早上八時半,由中央派來的老師通知我們去課室通傳每班那8位考中文、那8位考英文,同學隨即被帶到試場去,同學都緊張得很,害怕被抽中。老師也很緊張,希望能抽中成績較佳者,最怕是抽到那些「沈默是金」或「氣若柔絲」的同學。所以這兩年復活節後,我們全民皆兵,每位老師負責訓練五至六位同學Oral,時間自訂,大部分會於放學後加時補課,所以三年級仔受的壓力一點不少。至於筆試所涉獵之範圍更廣,兩週前我出席朗文出版社的「TSA全攻略」詳盡分析過往試題的題型,我才知考試範圍廣到嚇死人,講者的powerpoint十分有用,我即場要求她將它印成光碟,送給各校,好讓我們告訴其他老師和家長。若我拿到光碟,我一定讓你們開開眼界,看看現時的試有多艱深,那班高官整天只問為什麼學生成績這麼差,從來不問為什麼要這麼艱深。
每間學校都有一個編號,教統局一面說這只是全港的系統性評估,不影響學生成績。其實一放榜,每間學校便收到成績表(一大叠數據分析),知道自己在全港派第幾,升中派位都會以它作指標,現在樣樣透明,遲早家長都能上網查看。現時學位過剩,學生生源不足,津校縮班裁員者眾,若抽中一兩位「敗家者」,會直接影響全校對外成績,家長會因學校成績差而卻步,校長亦難向校董局交待,校長老師飯碗也可能不保。官校不會做,原因是學校管理委員會的主席一定是助理教育署長,還有家長和社會人士(我校的是警司),在高官的監察下,所有政策推出,我們便只有照跟,然後做死,那會出貓!

90 schools in 'absent pupils' probe

EMB to investigate as parents claim teachers asked weaker students to stay away from assessments
(1)The Education and Manpower Bureau is investigating 90 primary schools which posted "unusually high" absentee rates in student assessments held earlier this year.

(2)According to a senior EMB official, well in excess of twice the average number of students were missing at the schools when they held tests for the the second Territory-Wide System Assessment in May and July.

(3)Parents have accused teachers of persuading weaker students and those with learning difficulties to "call in sick" to boost the school's overall results.

(4)The assessments are intended to give schools and the government a clearer picture of how students perform in the key subject areas of Chinese, English and maths.

(5)They were introduced to Primary Three students last year and extended to Primary Six classes this year. From next year, Form Three students will also be assessed.

(6)Sam Hui Chark-shum, assistant secretary for education and manpower, said absentee rates had increased this year. "We feel that the situation this year is quite unusual," he said. "Across the whole of Hong Kong there has only been a slight increase, but it is still around 2 per cent. But in a certain number of schools the figures are very high."

(7)Mr Hui said the bureau had identified 90 schools where more than 5 per cent of pupils in either Primary Three or Primary Six did not take the assessment - more than 2?times the average absentee rate. Of those, 15 schools had more than 5 per cent absent in both years.

(8)He said the EMB had issued formal requests to the schools this week demanding further information about the students who did not take the assessment, including a full list of names and reasons why they were absent. They were given two weeks to comply.

(9)The problem was serious if schools were trying to influence their results. "If there is any suggestion of professional misconduct, we will order an independent investigation," Mr Hui said. That would be handled by the Council for Professional Conduct in Education. He was confident the majority of schools would provide full details. "There may well be legitimate reasons why these students did not take the test," he said.

(10)"The assessment is not like a public exam, the students don't get anything out of it," Mr Hui said. "If schools give a clear and accurate account of acceptable reasons, there is no reason for us to pick on them."

(11)Some students had been at school but had not taken the test. Mr Hui said that while there might be acceptable reasons for this - they were feeling unwell or had been misbehaving - the bureau would investigate further if there were "too many" cases.

(12)He said the as-yet uncorroborated reports of teachers encouraging special needs students to skip class were a cause for concern.

(13)The accusations were made by the Hong Kong Association for Specific Learning Difficulties and the Parents' Association of Autistic Children in Mainstream Education groups at a subcommittee meeting in the Legislative Council on Tuesday.

(14)Mr Hui accepted that some children with special needs would need particular arrangements for assessment, such as extra time or question papers in larger print, but said the EMB was prepared to assist schools to make those provisions.

(15)"Schools should not make these children feel like they are being isolated," he said.

(16)Yeung Hoi-chung, acting chairman of the Aided Primary School Heads' Association, said there should be a full investigation into the matter.

(17)"The government needs to look into this to find out exactly what happened," Mr Yeung said.

(18)He said he had heard of schools persuading weaker students to skip class when there was an assessment, but did not know whether the stories were true.

(19)"If they are really doing this, then it is not very good. Schools should not be trying to fake results just to boost their reputations," he said.
