Agree entirely with Ali.
Good governance requires transparency, communication, clear explanation. Otherwise people doubt your intentions and competence, however good. And that doesn't augur well for the industry/society.
Probably the exam process needs to be updated. As the new curriculum has a significant continuous assessment component, a significant part of the exams could be automated. Ideally each school (or schools within a ward) would have a computer lab that could be connected to the internet and many tests could be given remotely and marked automatically. This would mean that most tests would not need to be printed, and that the questions could differ by candidate. Of course for some subjects, automated testing is difficult, for example free response essay and comprehension questions, but where multiple choice or other similar formats can be used, this would curb cheating and reduce test costs.
