This is just crazy

Indian school Keeptrack of students with RFID

Administrators of Love Dale Central School in Belgaum, India are in the midst of testing a new method of monitoring students, with the help of RFID necklaces, reports the Deccan Chronicle.

The school recently launched a new program which requires all students to wear a RFID card around their necks, to allow parents and school officials to keep track of students throughout the day.


The new system, labeled Keeptrack, not only serves as a form of identification. It also helps keeps tabs on the students’ attendance records, academic performance and current whereabouts.

Readers installed on campus log information on students’ location from entry to exit, and parents may even sign up to receive SMS messages on their mobile phones about their children’s whereabouts at any given time.


Feb. 3: For the little ones, Big Brother is here. Students of a Belgaum school are now required to wear an RFID (radio frequency identification) card around their necks to help parents and school authorities keep track of them through the day, a
‘pioneering’ practice, perhaps, since more animals than people have been marked out for tracking until now.

Appropriately called Keeptrack, “it will have all the information from the time a child leaves for school to the time she goes back home. At regular intervals, parents will get SMS messages on their mobile phones about their children’s whereabouts,” says Dr Panchasheila Qadri, principal and administrator of Love Dale Central School.

At the school, Keeptrack serves as an identity card and helps keep a tab on the student’s attendance, academic performance and movements.

Dr Qadri said the system was affordable for all schools and a necessity for safety and security given the long distances children commute to school.

How it works: Students wear the RFID device around the neck. It is a card with a chip and a unique ID tag. A reader installed at the school records a student on arrival and passes on the data to a central computer from where messages are generated automatically and sent to parents!

The first step the testing has begun

The sad thing is that so many will willingly do it. Otherwise, all they have to do is take off the necklace. If enough people learn to take off the necklace, it will harder for them to inject it under our skin or implant it in our teeth...

Maybe...
