Beijing — China’s Ministry of Education announced on November 9, 2025 that all school exams must now be written using artificial intelligence systems. Teachers can no longer create exams manually without AI assistance in any Chinese school. Minister Chen Wei stated that this requirement reflects China’s commitment to developing advanced technology skills. Furthermore, the policy applies to all primary schools, middle schools, and high schools across the nation. The government views AI integration in education as essential preparation for China’s technological future. Meanwhile, schools must purchase approved AI examination software from authorized government vendors immediately. Moreover, teachers receive training programs to learn how to use AI systems for exam generation. Therefore, traditional exam writing methods are no longer permitted in Chinese educational institutions. Additionally, the Ministry will monitor schools to ensure complete compliance with the new regulation (https://www.moe.gov.cn). This mandate demonstrates China’s strategic focus on preparing students for an AI-driven economy and workplace environment.
