The Ministry of National Education, Preschool Education, and Sport has launched an advanced electronic system to monitor cheating during the baccalaureate exams, coinciding with the start of the resit session. This initiative aims to enhance the credibility of this national examination and combat the growing phenomenon of technological cheating observed in recent years.
This system represents a decisive action reflecting institutional commitment to safeguarding the principle of equal opportunities and improving the quality of education within the national educational framework.
The ministry has implemented a portable electronic device developed locally, equipped with advanced technical features that allow for the detection of any digital communication attempts within exam halls, without disrupting communication networks or violating the personal data privacy of candidates. The system relies on tracking technical signals indicative of illegal communication, without interfering with message content or eavesdropping on devices.
Regional specialized teams have been established at the level of regional education and training academies, tasked with utilizing these devices according to precise duties outlined in an updated operational guide. These teams oversee technical monitoring, while dealing with potential cases remains the responsibility of local committees at the examination centers, in accordance with the approved legal and regulatory procedures. The ministry has ensured detailed technical training for these team members to guarantee effective and safe use of the system.
This measure is a multifaceted response—educational, ethical, and organizational—aimed at enhancing the integrity of the national evaluation system and addressing the challenges posed by modern technological media. It reflects an advanced awareness of the significance of digital innovation in bolstering the credibility of public education, and affirms the ministry’s commitment to accompanying the digital transformation in the education sector while ensuring a fair and safe school environment, particularly during critical moments in students’ academic paths such as the baccalaureate stage.
