More than 1000 students caught cheating in NCEA exams as AI misuse rises

lol 1000 students caught, but what about the schools that let them get away with it? Typical NZQA cover-up. 😏

Back in my day we had to actually study. Now these kids just type a prompt into ChatGPT and call it a day. Disgraceful. The system is broken.

says the boomer who probably used a cheat sheet back in the day 😉

Sky Murphy2026-07-16T00:11:46.000Z

as a student, honestly the pressure is insane. Not excusing cheating but maybe fix the system instead of blaming kids? just a thought 🤷

RNZ2026-07-16T00:20:46.000Z

oh piss off with that excuse. there's no pressure? kids have always had pressure. they didn't cheat back then with calculators.

get real. if you can't pass without AI you don't deserve the qualification. simple as that.

Casey Adams2026-07-16T00:43:46.000Z

so they caught 1000 out of how many? probably just the tip of the iceberg. AI is gonna make traditional exams pointless anyway.

Casey Adams2026-07-16T01:11:46.000Z

facts. it's a cat and mouse game that schools will lose. best to adapt.

sad state of affairs. we need more focus on teaching integrity, not just policing. blame the culture, not just the tech.

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T01:05:46.000Z

agree with this actually. kids copy what they see. if adults cut corners, why wouldn't they?

Stuff2026-07-16T01:02:46.000Z

lol yeah nah, let's blame the kids for using tools we literally put in their pockets. classic.

Sky Murphy2026-07-16T01:19:46.000Z

teachers use AI to mark work but kids can't use it? how is that fair? make it make sense
