Eleven Chinese schools have begun enforcing “smart uniforms” with computer chips embedded to monitor student movements and prevent them from skipping classes.
Whenever a student enters their school, the time and date is recorded, and also with a short video is recorded. Facial recognition is used to prevent students from cheating the system, by wearing somebody else’s uniform.
Skipping classes, even while still at school, will trigger an alarm to inform teachers and parents, while a voice alarm is activated if a student walks out of school without permission.
A GPS system tracks student movements even beyond the school grounds.
