Chinese schools can now track student's location with "smart uniforms". Credit: ABCnews
The uniforms are being used in 10 schools in China’s Guizhou Province region, and apparently have been in use for some time — according to Lin Zongwu, principal of No. 11 School of Renhuai, over 800 students in his school have been wearing the smart uniforms since 2016. And while the uniforms are meant to encourage attendance, it seems that there’s nothing stopping administrators from using them to track students out of school, at least technologically speaking, which is certainly concerning. Although, according to Lin Zongwu, “We choose not to check the accurate location of students after school.” (DWK)#CyberpunkisNow Schools in China have begun enforcing 'smart uniforms' made by Guizhou Guanyu Technology (image is theirs) with features including GPS tracking system to monitor students.
