On November 11, it distributed the measures to vice principals of test-site schools, dispatched supervisors, and situation rooms in CSAT test districts.

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education said, "While following the Ministry of Education's guidelines for supervising smart glasses and responding to different situations, we focused on reflecting the circumstances at test sites in Gyeongbuk to ensure both the safety and fairness of the exam. We have assigned responsibility for making decisions related to smart glasses to the supervisors dispatched by the provincial office of education - either school inspectors or education research officers - with one assigned to each test-site school."

In addition to their existing duties of overseeing and guiding the overall administration of the CSAT, dispatched supervisors will be responsible for identifying smart glasses and deciding how to handle cheating cases.

By preparing and sharing its own phased response measures for smart glasses, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education has established a framework for ensuring that test sites across the province respond according to consistent standards.

An official from the Gyeongbuk Office of Education said, "We will dispatch supervisors, including school inspectors and education research officers, to CSAT test sites and individually inspect candidates' glasses to prevent cheating with smart glasses," adding, "However, we cannot disclose the specific inspection methods."
