However, Hong Kong students, including year 13 ESF students, had to continue with traditional exams. ESF students later told The Standard that some students who spoke out and complained about the IB exam arrangements were targets of a "crackdown" by their schools. There was no unified response from the seven ESF secondary schools on student complaints about the IB exam arrangements, the student said. In a response to The Standard, the ESF said it "very much values student voices and participation" across all ESF schools. This engagement included discussions with our student leaders from our ESF student council.
