Exams regulator Ofqual has asked exam boards to introduce new security measures, its chief regulator has said.
It follows police investigations being launched after cyber attacks at three exam boards last summer.
Sir Ian Bauckham, Ofqual chief regulator, said “clearly examinations cannot be fair if some people get access to secure examination materials beforehand”.
He said it was “critically important” that the sector focused on “maintaining the security of the IT systems that are used to hold and communicate important examination materials”.
