European education AI cheating crackdown

Overview

In July 2026 German universities reacted to uncovered AI‑assisted cheating by tightening exam policies, marking the start of a wave of institutional measures to protect assessment integrity.

A month later, Denmark announced a package of reforms for secondary schools, requiring students to orally defend large written assignments, tightening computer monitoring, installing firewalls, and encouraging supervised in‑class writing. The Danish government said the steps are part of a forthcoming national AI strategy for education. Together, these actions illustrate a broader European effort to curb the misuse of artificial intelligence in academic examinations.
