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.
