Why are you assuming that all students will cheat? That's entirely unreasonable.

But if you want a way to push cheaters towards doing the work then a boarding school without cell service would work. Although I guess these days you'd also have to account for starlink and the like.

Probably easier to warn everyone that they will almost certainly fail if they cheat and then be entirely uncompromising when it comes time for exams. Not your problem if they knowingly shoot themselves in the foot.

Public education is about forcing kids (the vast majority of whom are literally incapable of long term planning) to become educated so as to have a stabilizing effect on society.

An uneducated populace is easily lead astray, am existential threat to a democratic society.
