England’s largest exam board has set out a timetable to move some of its exams on-screen – with a large-entry subject like English going on-screen by 2030.
AQA today published proposals that include parts of GCSE Italian and Polish to be assessed digitally by 2026, currently sat by around 10,000 pupils.
More subjects will follow until bigger subjects are partly digitally assessed in 2030 – meaning hundreds of thousands of simultaneous exams.
Students’ devices would be offline in the exam hall so they won’t be able to search for information on the internet or access artificial intelligence tools.
