2009年，香港教育局調整中等學校制度，第一屆高三畢業生於2012年接受新式的中學文憑考試，此一新制的升學考試制度，結合了形成性評量與總結性評量的優點、建立中文、英文和數學的基本能力指標、強化通識教育的多元能力，同時兼顧公開考試成績與學生在校表現，同時香港教育局也以此升學考試制度申請國際學術單位的認證，暢通國際升學管道，也提高此一考試制度的公信力。臺灣即將於103學年度啟動的十二年國民基本教育，在升學制度方面，或許可以借鏡香港教育局的措施，包括建立基本能力指標與核心科目、在升學制度中考量學生日常學習表現、落實通識教育的教學與評量，以及建構完整的升學制度以申請國際學術機構的認證等。

Hong Kong Education Bureau adjusted education system in 2009, and students entering junior high school in 2006 sit for the first Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination in 2012, after completing six years of secondary education. HKDSE Examination try to integrate the advantages from formative measurement and summative measurement, build up the indexes in core subjects, enhance the liberal studies' instruction and testing, consider students' school performance in this examination, and connect this examination with international assessment system. In Taiwan, maybe we can establish the indexes in basic subjects, consult students' school performance, improve the liberal subject's teaching and assessment, and connect our selective education system with international learning system.
