Reports of the Development of Question Papers in Public Examinations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Office of The Ombudsman,

The Office of The Ombudsman ("the Office") has conducted a number of
Direct Investigations (DIs) and Direct Investigation Assessments (DI
Assessments) into the development of question papers in public
examinations. As far as I know, at least three related DIs and DI
Assessments have been conducted, of which the titles are listed as
follows.

1. [Year 2001/02] "有關公開考試的安排" (Chinese) or "Administration of
public examinations" (English)

2. [Year 2009/10] "公開考試試卷的編製" (Chinese) and "System for
Development of Question Papers in Public Examinations" (English)

3. [Year 2010/11; case reference number: OMB/DI/224] "香港高級程度會考試卷
的編製" (Chinese) and "Development of a Question Paper in the HKAL
Examination" (English)

I therefore request, under the Code on Access to Information, the full DI
and DI Assessment reports in both Chinese and English of (a) the above DIs
and DI Assessments, and (b) any other DI(s) and/or DI Assessment(s) of the
similar subject.

I am looking forward to your early reply. Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,
stranbusel
