It is reported that secondary teachers from the Association of Secondary Teachers of Ireland are seeking an indemnity with the Department of Education against any legal actions arising from students losing marks in their Leaving Certificate (i.e. final high school exam in Ireland) over the improper use of AI in their project work. Under Irelands’ State Examination Commission (SEC) rules, students’ coursework must be completed under the supervision of a teacher and authenticated as the candidate’s own work by the teacher and school principal.

This could lead to penalties for students and professional liability for teachers. This is a developing story.
