The UK exam season starts today and this year exam authorities are using new technology to help stop cheating.
For the first time, radio frequency tags have been put on bundles of exam
papers which are sent out by the authorities.
They say the new technology makes it easier to spot if bundles of
papers have been tampered with.
Schools have tight security, but some papers do go missing. Some are
stolen and sold. Others are distributed on the internet.
Reports of problems like this are few: out of 620,000 bags of exam
papers sent out last year, there were only 70 reported problems.
Even so, the logistics of sending out alternative exam papers is very expensive.
But the biggest problem is that people lose faith in the exam system.
