As a further step to safeguard the integrity of the examination, the Council has put in place the following measures:

(1) Strict internal controls and compliance by all staff to the Security Regulations of the Council.

(2) Increased inspection and monitoring at the various centres. Additionally, the following schools in respect of which tip-offs were received on intents to cheat are being closely monitored for evidence to validate the claims:

(3) Withdrawal of some supervisors and invigilators from providing services for the Council pending further sanctioning.

(4) Scrutiny of scripts of schools where cheating has been reported. Where mass cheating is established in centres, the appropriate sanctions would be applied.
