China is tightening security ahead of the gaokao, the country’s national university entrance exam, with officials in several provinces requiring additional checks of students’ eyeglasses. The measures target concerns that smart glasses could be used to help cheating by providing connectivity, cameras, or other hidden functions during the exam. According to reports, candidates may be asked to remove or present their eyewear for inspection, and screening procedures are being introduced or expanded at examination venues. The policy reflects broader efforts by education and exam authorities to limit use of high-tech devices and deter attempts to circumvent exam rules. While the reports focus on eyeglass inspections, they are framed as part of a wider crackdown on advanced cheating methods in the lead-up to the test. The measures are described as applying to students taking the gaokao in multiple provinces, where exam authorities are responding to rising scrutiny over the potential role of smart eyewear in facilitating misconduct.
