The Ministry of Education emphasized that dedicated monitors for artificial intelligence (AI)-equipped smart glasses at the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) sites, scheduled for November 19, will acquire sufficient capability to detect cheating through prior education and training.

During a regular briefing today (November 2), in response to reporters' questions asking whether it believes dedicated smart glasses monitors can distinguish various types of smart glasses, the Ministry stated, "We plan to conduct education for these dedicated monitors through various methods, including actual smart glasses, and we judge that they will be able to sufficiently build their capabilities through this."

It added that prior education and training for dedicated smart glasses monitors will be conducted, with training hours operated according to the conditions of each city and provincial office of education.

The Ministry further explained, "Dedicated personnel who can sufficiently evaluate smart glasses will also be deployed to the control room," adding that they will verify whether devices are smart glasses through photos and videos.

On October 29, the Ministry of Education announced that it would deploy one dedicated personnel member to each of the 1,312 CSAT test sites nationwide to determine the presence of smart glasses.

The Ministry of Education also decided to launch an on-site inspection regarding point allocations for multicultural families concerning daycare center admissions.

The Ministry explained, "We plan to conduct a fact-finding survey on the impact that point allocations for multicultural families regarding daycare center admissions actually have on enrollment," adding, "Based on the results of the survey, if there are cases that do not align with the purpose of the policy, we plan to review institutional improvements."

Previously, President Lee Jae-myung stated in a post on X on November 1, "Listening to voices pointing out hard-to-understand issues in some multicultural family support policies and saying that if there are problems they should be corrected cannot be considered an exclusionary or discriminatory measure against multicultural families."
