Amid growing concerns over cheating during the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) using glasses equipped with artificial intelligence features, a survey showed that 4 out of 5 middle and high school teachers find it difficult to determine whether students are wearing smart glasses.

In an online survey conducted by the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union of approximately 2,700 teachers, when asked whether the current supervision procedures distributed by the Ministry of Education make it possible to identify the wearing of smart glasses, 82.3% of the responding teachers answered that it is difficult to identify them.

Only 3.5% responded that identification is possible.

In particular, 64.4% of the responding teachers (multiple responses allowed) answered that they are most concerned about complaints and disputes that may arise if regular glasses are mistaken for smart glasses.

This was followed by "the burden of designating students as suspects because it is difficult to distinguish them from regular glasses" at 48.0%, and "being held accountable for lax supervision if smart glasses go undetected" at 45.9%.

As for the most urgent measure the Ministry of Education should prepare (multiple responses allowed), "establishing professional personnel and systems to judge suspicious devices" was chosen the most at 64.8%.
