New measures to prevent exam theft

Final exams will be sent out to schools later and in tamper resistant packaging, starting this school year, announced State Secretary of Education, Sander Dekker. After Ibn Ghaldoun initially made the news for the poor condition of the buildings, a massive exam fraud was discovered, where students had unjustly received their diplomas. test_exam

Wikipedia.org Students had managed to steal final exams from the school's safe. The solid system in place could not prevent the large-scale fraud, discovered at the Islāmic school last year. To prevent that from happening again, exams will be sent out later, and in tamper resistant envelopes, that will make it impossible to re-seal the package the same way. These and other planned measures should enhance the security even further, according to Dekker. 'At the same time incidents can never be ruled out. There is no such thing as a 100 percent fraud-proof system. There will always be new challenges that require resilience and flexibility,' said Dekker.
