This is a somewhat sensational reading of what this is about.

There are some tests; ie. essay writing where students sit in a big hall for up to 4 hours and write their essay (as shown on the photo).

Here they are allowed (but not required) to write on their own computer but they are of course not allowed to use the internet to get someone external to write their essay for them.

The possibility of control is a measure to prevent that.

It's been over ten years since I last took a test/exam at this educational level, so I may be unfamiliar with today's procedures. But I do recall also being allowed to use computers in mathematics' tests/exams.

You are correct that I neglected to mention that computers are not required during the test. But I felt I maintained the same tone as the article.
