'Non-local Chinese exam takers lose out in uni race'

A group focusing on racial equality has urged local universities to come up with a transparent standard for assessing the performance of students who take Chinese-language exams outside the local system.At a press briefing on Friday, Unison said many students from a non-Chinese-speaking background sit GCSE, GCE or A-level papers instead of the Diploma of Secondary Education, but this may put them at a disadvantage when seeking a university place.John Tse, the group's executive director, said five out of nine local universities take a case-by-case approach in evaluating students' scores, meaning they may be subject to arbitrary interpretation.He said other institutions translate alternative Chinese-language exam scores differently, with some saying the highest scores will be treated as DSE level 5** and others saying all passing grades are equivalent to DSE level 3.Tse added that most universities don't disclose on their website or in brochures how they convert non-DSE Chinese-language exam results, and only provide this information when asked for it.Mary, who is studying economics and marketing, said she might have gone for a different programme if she had had a clearer idea of what results she had to achieve in her Chinese-language GCSE."If they had told me that my A* would be seen as a 5**, then I would have gone for a competitive programme. But because everyone had been telling me that it was like a level 3, I just chose a safe choice in the university I wanted," she said.Tse said local universities should rectify the situation by devising a conversion mechanism that applies to all of their programmes."All universities in Hong Kong should sit down and come to a conclusion that we must tackle this, we must come up with a standardised measurement, a conversion table, which is open to everyone," he said."I'm not saying one yardstick is better than the other. I'm just saying if there's no yardstick, then we are not being professional here, we are treating non-Chinese speaking students poorly."He also called for admission information to be made clear to prospective students of sub-degree programmes, saying many conduct interviews or teach in Chinese.

Hong Kong swelters on hottest "Great Heat" day ever

Hong Kong has continued to swelter with the Observatory's Very Hot Weather Warning remaining in force for the ninth consecutive day, with the department recording 34.9 degrees on Saturday afternoon.Temperatures pushed above 35 degrees in many areas on Saturday, the date in the traditional Chinese calendar associated with the "Great Heat" solar term. Observatory records show that it was the hottest "Great Heat" day Hong Kong has seen, with officials advising people to avoid physical outdoor activities as much as possible.Many opted to cool off at the beach, and some of those enjoying the weekend at Lung Mei Beach in Tai Po told RTHK that even getting into the sea wasn't enough to cool down."The temperature here is 39.2 degree Celcius. It feels like I'm melting or getting burnt. It's still bearable on the beach. I brought cans of coke, ice bags and a tent here, or I would have fainted under the sun. I'll go buy a watermelon later," said a woman.Meanwhile, a few brave souls were seen exercising in place such as Victoria Park."It's much hotter this year, the temperature is often higher than 30 degrees. [But still] one must work out," said a man there.Dr Lam Wing-wo who practises in family medicine called on people to take a break under the shade every 30 minutes after working outdoors.He said recently some people went to the doctor thinking they had caught the coronavirus because they had a low-degree fever and headache. In fact these were mild or preliminary symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, he said.
