Storage and Distribution: Papers were stored centrally and distributed, with armed security, to Nodal points on a weekly basis. The Province had a total of 18 Nodal points servicing 112 schools (with 22 schools which were delivered to directly). This meant that 112 out of 134 centres receive their question papers on a daily basis. The province mitigated risk at the 22 schools by deploying daily monitors to these 22 schools, with officials being rotated. The storage period of question papers was substantially reduced from a period of 3 weeks to 1 week.
