The Punjab Education Department has decided to install security cameras in schools to improve safety and ensure a secure learning environment for students and staff. These cameras will be placed at school entrances and other key areas to closely monitor activities and prevent any security threats.
The new surveillance system will use advanced technology, including facial recognition, to identify students, teachers, and visitors. This will help keep track of everyone entering or leaving the school premises, reducing unauthorized access and ensuring a safer atmosphere.
Daily reports will be generated from the camera feeds, allowing school authorities to monitor and manage security concerns more effectively. These reports will help in identifying potential risks and taking necessary actions to prevent any incidents.
Apart from enhancing security, the cameras will also help in preventing issues like theft, vandalism, and unauthorized entry. Areas such as hallways, playgrounds, and entry points will be under strict surveillance to ensure the safety of students and staff.
In case of emergencies like intrusions or accidents, the security system will provide real-time updates to authorities, allowing them to respond quickly and efficiently. This step is particularly important in cities like Lahore, where schools have large student populations.
On the other hand, a recent decision by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Education Department has banned school picnics, study tours, and educational trips. This measure aims to enhance security by keeping students in a controlled environment, minimizing external risks, and focusing more on internal safety measures.
