Hong Kong education authorities are developing a globally benchmarked version of the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) exam on a pilot basis. This international version aims to facilitate access for foreign students, including Hong Kong students residing abroad, to higher education institutions in both Hong Kong and mainland China. The Education Bureau is currently conducting technical explorations and studies with relevant bodies to develop the exam. The long-term goal is to establish a public examination that is recognized internationally. The international DSE may potentially be administered outside of Hong Kong.
