Subject: Access to Information request - Supplementary Information Request

2025–2026

Dear Civil Service Bureau,
Dear Access to Information Officer,
Further to my previous information request, I would like to request the
following additional existing records concerning 2025 and 2026. For 2026,
please provide records available up to the date of your reply. These items
supplement my previous request; documents already supplied need not be
provided again.
1. Information about the marking arrangements of the Joint Recruitment
Examination (JRE) held in 2025 and 2026, including existing marking
instructions, assessment criteria and moderation procedures.
2. Guides to Appointment of the Administrative Officer (AO) and Executive
Officer (EO) Grades applicable in 2025 and 2026.
3. Samples or blank templates of interview assessment forms used for AO
and Executive Officer II (EOII) recruitment exercises in 2025 and 2026.
4. Statistics on personal data access requests received in 2025 and 2026
in relation to AO and EOII recruitment exercises, separately by
recruitment exercise where recorded.
5. Information about the core competencies of the AO, EO and Clerical
Officer (CO) Grades applicable in 2025 and 2026.
6. Existing reply documents, statistical tables and attachments under Ref
14/2026: Statistics on the number of data access requests handled in 2025
related to JRE, if not already supplied under my previous request.
7. Annual numbers of requests and individual candidates seeking access to
their own JRE numerical scores in 2025 and 2026, separately for the
Chinese and English tasks where recorded.
8. Annual numbers of requests and individual candidates seeking review of
JRE results in 2025 and 2026. Please distinguish administrative checking,
re-marking and other review procedures where these categories exist, and
provide existing records identifying the procedures actually available.
9. Annual numbers of requests and individual candidates seeking inspection
or copies of their own JRE answer scripts in 2025 and 2026. Please
distinguish inspection from the provision of copies and identify whether
access includes marked scripts and examiner annotations.
10. Numbers of requests for JRE score access, result review, re-marking
and answer-script access granted, partially granted, refused or withdrawn
in 2025 and 2026, separately by request type where recorded.
11. Numbers of JRE result reviews or re-marking cases in 2025 and 2026
that resulted in changes to marks or eligibility for interview, separately
for the Chinese and English tasks where recorded.
12. Existing procedures, eligibility requirements, application deadlines
and fees applicable in 2025 and 2026 for obtaining JRE scores, requesting
result review or re-marking, and inspecting or obtaining copies of answer
scripts.
13. Existing policies or recorded reasons applicable in 2025 and 2026 for
refusing access to JRE scores, answer scripts or examiner annotations,
including any provisions relied upon and arrangements for partial or
redacted disclosure. Please also provide the applicable retention and
destruction policies for answer scripts and marking records.
14. Guidelines applicable in 2025 and 2026 concerning appeals against
performance appraisals. Please also provide the relevant existing reply
documents and attachments under Ref 21/2026: Information about performance
appraisals.
15. Information about the postings or placement of AO interns in 2025 and
2026. Please also provide any relevant existing records under Ref 32/2026
concerning internship placement opportunities provided for post-secondary
students.
16. Statistics on the number of university students invited to attend the
Common Recruitment Examination (CRE) and Basic Law and National Security
Law Test (BLNST) held in Hong Kong in 2025 and 2026. Please also provide
the existing reply documents, statistical tables and attachments under Ref
81/2025: Statistics on the CRE and BLNST.
17. Information and statistics concerning applicants who are persons with
disabilities in AO and EOII recruitment exercises conducted in 2025 and
2026.
The references above identify related previously released records. They
are not intended to imply that those records necessarily contain every
requested breakdown.
Please provide the relevant existing records, reply documents and
attachments in electronic format, preferably PDF for documents and
spreadsheets for statistical tables, by replying to [email address].
Where a document addresses more than one item, please supply it only once
and identify the corresponding items. Please distinguish the number of
requests from the number of individual candidates, and identify whether
statistical periods refer to calendar years or examination/recruitment
years.
If any requested record or statistical breakdown is not held, please
specify the item and period concerned and provide the closest relevant
existing record. I am requesting existing records and do not require the
creation of new analyses.
If any information is withheld, please identify the relevant item and the
reason for withholding it, and provide any remaining information that can
be released separately.
If any charges are anticipated, please advise me of the amount before
proceeding.
Yours faithfully,
Cao Yifan
