UK School Introduces Facial Recognition

Posted by timothy on from the excuse-me-while-I-register-my-delight dept.

Penguin_me writes "A UK school has quietly introduced new facial recognition systems for registering students in and out of school: 'HIGH-TECH facial recognition technology has swept aside the old-fashioned signing of the register at a school. Sixth-formers will now have their faces scanned as they arrive in the morning at the City of Ely Community College. It is one of the first schools in the UK to trial the new technology with its students. Face Register uses the latest high-tech gadgets to register students in and out of school in just 1.5 seconds.'"

    All schools will have the teachers behind bullet-proof glass with microphones/speakers. Every student will submit their work through document feeds and must make appointments to see teachers. Furthermore, after scores are tallied, individual students will be assigned permanent roles in society such as "butcher", "baker", etc. Anyone who works in roles other than their designation will have their biometric identity cancelled and will have to go to labor camps.
