> We need to search for new solutions and new approaches for education.

Thank you for that and for everything you wrote above it. I completely agree, and you put it much better than I could have.

I teach at a university in Japan. We started struggling with such issues in 2017, soon after Google Translate suddenly got better and nonnative writers became able to use it to produce okay writing in English or another second language. Discussions about how to respond continued among educators—with no consensus being reached—until the release of ChatGPT, which kicked the problem into overdrive. As you say, new approaches to education are absolutely necessary, but finding them and getting stakeholders to agree to them is proving to be very, very difficult.
