Ban on Installation of Cameras in Higher Secondary Class Rooms

It has been observed that installing CCTV cameras for class room surveillance restrict the students’ privacy, freedom/rights as well as their mental state. Under these circumstances, the State Human Rights Commission has enforced a ban on this aspect. Hence, from now, no cameras for class room surveillance be installed in Higher Secondary school class rooms in our state. 

Also it has been directed that the cameras already installed with this purpose be uninstalled immediately. A report regarding this also should be sent to the Office of the Regional Deputy Director concerned. 

Strict disciplinary measures will be taken against the principals of the Higher Secondary Schools who fail to conform to this order. Click the below link for circular.
