Starting in 2026, high school students in Denmark will be permitted to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to prepare for their English oral exams, the country’s education ministry has announced.

The policy, described as experimental, will apply exclusively to the oral component of the high school diploma exam. Students will be given one hour to prepare their presentations and may use “all available tools, including generative AI,” before presenting in person to examiners.
Education Minister Mattias Tesfaye said the initiative is part of pilot schemes aimed at balancing the adoption of digital learning with the maintenance of academic standards.
“With students growing up in both analogue and digital worlds, we need to ready them in the best way possible for the reality they will encounter after their schooling,” Tesfaye explained.
Authorities emphasized that the written English exam will continue to impose strict limits on digital reliance. Students will be required to complete portions of the exam by hand, a shift from the previous practice of typing responses on internet-connected computers. Tesfaye noted that handwritten tests “limit cheating and help students to develop their own style of language.”
Denmark has allowed internet use in exams since 2008, but the AI initiative will initially be restricted to schools that volunteer to participate. AFP
