Schools that spy
March 9, 2007

Source: UK Daily Mail
Head teachers will today sound a warning over the growing mass of “intrusive” information held about pupils on school databases. They are now expected to collect detailed particulars ranging from heights and weights to family set-ups, religion, medical information and school travel arrangements. They are often required to pass on the information to councils, quangos or central Government. Head teachers’ leader Malcolm Trobe will today urge schools to boycott “unreasonable” requests for information from education bureaucrats. He says the data demands are tying up schools in red tape while also giving parents cause for concern over Big Brother-style intrusion. Primary schools are required to check the height and weight of youngsters when aged five and 11, while most schools - primary and secondary - have to keep records of how pupils travel to school.

Up to 3,500 schools are taking fingerprints from pupils - often without their parents’ permission.
