Overview

  • Flemish Education Minister Zuhal Demir directed IT experts to examine all 5,544 exams and every computer used in the sessions.
  • The president of the organizing committee, Jan Eggermont of KU Leuven, resigned after a decade overseeing the tests.
  • The computer-based setup allowed students to open other browser tabs, and three participants were caught cheating during the exam.
  • An elevated pass rate compared with prior years triggered the probe into possible use of ChatGPT or similar tools.
  • Authorities are weighing a return to centralized, paper-based exams and warn of sanctions if fraud is proven, while KU Leuven’s medical dean doubts large-scale wrongdoing has occurred.
