Vietnam focuses on AI and high-tech cheating prevention for 2026 graduation exams

Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training is prioritizing the prevention of cheating, particularly through advanced technology like artificial intelligence (AI), for the 2026 high school graduation exam. Officials are reviewing all aspects to ensure the exam is safe, fair, and supportive of students.

Concerns about sophisticated cheating devices, which can be hidden in everyday items, and AI's potential to quickly solve exam questions if papers are leaked, are at the forefront of the ministry's preparations. In addition to monitoring for traditional cheating methods like using unauthorized materials or impersonation, exam boards are being urged to maintain strict confidentiality of exam papers.

To combat these threats, the ministry encourages local authorities to consult with security agencies on technical solutions for detection and prevention. This proactive approach aims to prevent students from inadvertently violating exam regulations. In Hanoi, where over 129,000 students will take the exam, officials have emphasized the importance of proctors clearly explaining the rules, especially regarding items allowed in the exam room.

Proctors are reminded to instruct students to leave bulky personal belongings and valuables, including mobile phones, in designated areas away from the exam hall. Before each exam session, students will receive a final reminder to check their belongings to avoid accidental violations. Any student found using communication devices for cheating will be subject to confiscation of materials, with exam security coordinating with police for investigation.
