How to Check HKDSE Result

Results of Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) are expected to be released on Wednesday, 11 July. School candidates will receive their result notices through their schools. Private candidates and evening school students may check their results online from 7:00am on the day of the release through HKDSE Examination Online Services. Results will also be available at PEAK Exam Centres.

Those who wish to apply for Enquiry on Results (EOR) can do so by submitting the required documents to the CSEU within six weeks of their registered test date. They can also choose which sections of the test they would like to have re-marked. If the re-marking result improves their score, they will receive a full refund of the application fee.

The re-marking fee for EOR is HK$ 1,000. Candidates can apply for a maximum of five tests per year. The re-marking results will normally be available in two to 21 days after the re-marking process is completed.

If a candidate needs his or her examination results verified for a particular purpose, he or she can submit an application to the CSEU by post together with the original copy of his or her Result Slip. The application must be accompanied by a letter with the applicant’s contact telephone number and a copy of his or her Hong Kong identity card or passport.

The re-verification service can be used for various purposes, including applying for employment or admission to universities. The re-verification service is free of charge, but candidates will have to pay for the courier cost for the shipment of the certificate. A certified copy of the results will be sent to destinations inside Hong Kong by registered post as soon as possible after the verification is complete. For destinations outside Hong Kong, applicants will have to arrange courier service at their own expense. The re-verification service will be available until the end of March 2024. After that, it will be discontinued. In the meantime, candidates can verify their results through a self-service counter at the CSEU. The re-verification service will also be available for applicants with overseas addresses who wish to check their results over the Internet. However, they should note that the re-verification service does not guarantee that their examination results will be changed for the better. In fact, the results of their previous exams will still be valid for their next applications. However, the re-verification result is an important step in ensuring that the information on their results is correct and up to date. Therefore, it is important that they take the time to verify their information before they use it for any application. This is especially true for those who want to apply to a university in the future. To do so, they should follow the instructions on the re-verification website carefully. Otherwise, they could face trouble with the university admissions process or even lose their scholarship. In the worst case, they may not even be allowed to enter the university at all.

Treatments For Gambling Addiction

Gambling involves risking something of value (money or anything else) on an event that is largely determined by chance. It can be done in a variety of ways, including betting on a football match, playing scratchcards or even investing in DIY projects. Some people find gambling enjoyable and manage their addiction responsibly, but for others it can become problematic.

It is important to know the signs of a gambling problem, such as lying to family or friends about your habits or spending more and more money than you can afford to lose. Often, people who have a gambling problem also experience negative consequences in their lives such as financial stress or poor relationships, and this can make them feel even more desperate to gamble.

Those who develop problems with gambling can come from any background. They can be rich or poor, young or old, male or female, and they can be from small towns or large cities. Problem gambling can affect anyone and everyone is at risk, regardless of their social status, education, or occupation.

Many people who struggle with gambling addiction can recognise their behaviour as problematic, but they may not have the confidence or support to seek help. Some people who have a gambling problem also have coexisting mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. This can make it difficult to understand their behaviour and stop them from gambling.

There are a number of different treatment options for those who have a gambling problem. These include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which looks at how people think about betting and the rituals they use to try and predict outcomes. It can also look at why it is hard for them to stop, such as believing they are more likely to win than they really are or that certain behaviours will bring them luck.

CBT can also teach a person to identify triggers and how to deal with them, such as when they feel stressed or anxious, and it can provide tools for managing their urges. Other treatments for gambling addiction involve group support or family therapy and can be very effective for some people. These can help them to understand their condition and work with other people who have the same problem, and they can learn how to manage their addiction together. They can also get advice on how to set realistic boundaries with other family members and friends. In some cases, a person’s family may be able to stop them from gambling by restricting their access to money or limiting their spending at casinos or TABs.

The HK Prize for Democracy Activists

A Hong Kong-based charity has announced its first-ever prize to recognise the outstanding work of a teenager who is leading the city’s democracy activists. It is hoped the award will encourage young people to continue to push for change in their homeland, where a 24-year-old student with thick spectacles and a bowl haircut has become a symbol of their fight against Beijing’s rule. Joshua Wong, who has been convicted of sedition by the Chinese authorities for organising a peaceful protest, won this year’s hk prize.

In the same category, a documentary on the city’s democracy activism has been selected as one of the shortlisted films for the 2018 HK Documentary Film Awards. The film, Ten Years, follows a group of young people as they campaign for democracy and human rights. The director, Ng Ka-leung, has been described as “an auteur with a distinct style”.

Last month, the organisers of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon increased the prize money for local runners in an attempt to attract more participants. Permanent Hong Kong residents who finish the marathon in less than three hours for men or three and a half hours for women will receive HK$10,000, up from the previous HK$7,000. Jockey Club racehorse trainers will also be offered a bonus incentive of HK$200,000 to HK$50,000, with the winner taking home HK$100,000, in an effort to improve the quality of Hong Kong horses.

The HK Prize, formerly the HKU History Prize, was established in 2007 to commemorate George B. Endacott, who played a major role in the re-establishment of the Department of History after the Second World War. The prize supports excellence in research in Hong Kong and China history. It aims to promote scholarly exchange and mutual understanding between scholars and students in Hong Kong and the mainland and between Hong Kong and the rest of the world.

Other prize winners include demographer Wolfgang Lutz and members from War Child Alliance, who have been honoured for their contributions to global education. The HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee gave an online speech, saying that the winners exemplify Hong Kong’s spirit of creativity and innovation.

BOCHK SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION PRIZE was established in 2022 to reward outstanding scientists or research teams in Hong Kong, or research-related institutions set up by Hong Kong higher learning institutions within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The Prize has a Secretariat operated by the Beijing-Hong Kong Academic Exchange Centre, which is responsible for carrying out the functions of the Board and the Review Committee; shouldering the duty of liaison and coordination between the Board, the Review Committee, and the Compliance Oversight Team; and conducting evaluation activities and science popularization.

The HK Phil, along with its principal patron, the Swire Group, and all of the music-lovers in Hong Kong and around the world, extends our sincere gratitude for being awarded this prestigious international prize. We look forward to continuing our mission of making a difference in the lives of Hong Kong’s youth through education and the sharing of our expertise in the field of music.
