Background & analysis
On November 11, 2026, The Decoder reported that the Office for Students, England's higher education regulator, said AI has made it “nearly impossible” to assess student coursework fairly. According to the regulator's investigation, students are having ChatGPT write entire papers without being detected, and some are unable to recall basic content afterward. To protect the credibility of degrees, the Office for Students is requiring universities to return to traditional exam formats or face sanctions. The regulator has positioned sanctions as the mechanism to push institutions to change how they assess coursework, and the requirement is currently being enforced at that stage.
