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.
