25th June 2026 Weekly Update

This week's update brings together 21 stories from across the global assessment landscape. Test security dominates the headlines, with 2.3 million students retaking India's medical entrance exam after a leak, Thai officials caught altering scores for bribes, and fresh calls for accountability that would place exam integrity squarely on the shoulders of institution heads. Elsewhere, we look at how AI is reshaping the field, from unlimited AI-generated practice questions to a thoughtful conversation on training doctors for an AI-saturated world. There's plenty on innovation and credentialing too, including specifications grading, a shifting CFA pass rate, a new Bar course replacing the CLP exam, and FAA certification for agricultural drone pilots. Add in podcasts on reinventing assessment from scratch, play-based learning and making public data usable for both humans and machines, and you have a snapshot of an industry grappling with integrity, technology and fairness all at once.
