CBSE mandates CCTV
CBSE mandates CCTVs in class for 10 & 12 board exams in 2025
Extract from the Article:
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has mandated schools to install CCTV cameras in classrooms for Class 10 and 12 board exams in February-March 2025. Schools failing to comply with this requirement will not be qualified as exam centers.
The responsibility of bearing the cost of installing and maintaining the cameras rests with the schools. This move aims to enhance exam security and deter malpractices during crucial board examinations.
In a bid to ensure transparency and prevent exam-related misconduct, the CBSE's decision to introduce compulsory CCTV surveillance signifies a significant shift towards modernizing exam administration.
By leveraging technology, the education board is striving to create a more secure examination environment and maintain the integrity of the assessment process. This proactive approach demonstrates the board's commitment to fostering a fair and accountable evaluation system.
My Take:
Exam Malpractices No More…..19/10/2019
In my blog post from 2019, I highlighted the importance of leveraging live CCTV feeds to predict and prevent exam malpractices.
The recent CBSE mandate echoes the essence of my suggestion. By proactively deploying CCTV surveillance, institutions can deter cheating and ensure a level playing field for all students.
This initiative aligns with the need for stringent measures to uphold the sanctity of examinations and underscores the significance of technological interventions in education.
Supreme Surveillance Solution…..05/12/2020
The Supreme Court's directive to install CCTV cameras in various government agencies and police stations resonates with the paradigm shift towards surveillance for accountability and transparency.
Just as the judiciary emphasized the importance of CCTV surveillance to prevent custodial torture, the CBSE's move to implement cameras in exam centers reinforces the idea of using technology as a tool for enhancing security and ensuring fairness.
The convergence of these initiatives underscores a broader societal shift towards embracing surveillance as a means of upholding justice and integrity.
Call to Action:
To the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), I urge you to ensure comprehensive training for school administrators on the effective use of CCTV surveillance systems. Additionally, consider establishing protocols for data privacy and storage to safeguard the integrity of the recorded footage.
By fostering a culture of responsible surveillance practices, CBSE can set a benchmark for ensuring exam security while upholding ethical standards in educational assessments.
