the just building ah, you have to be radical. that's a radical mean. go back to the roof. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how lucky that i was able to build to just present berlin is architecture, is a celebration of democracy and one building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of an architect. motions. it starts december 25th on d. w. 50 to avenues fe shark coming up today, watching students on cctv in their classrooms. that's the demi government plan to keep student safe, but parents say it encourages board ism and violates privacy. who's right? an expert offer some context for some schools have put in place,

you bust mechanics don't read deduction, i'd be missing some schools. how did the happen to be addressed in sit down and station when it comes to? how do you handle that data for how long do you handle that teacher who has access to me? ah, i'm british minded, you're welcome to the dublin years, asia, glad you could join us. the government of the indian capital delhi is installing cctv cameras in school classrooms. it says it is to keep students safe that reasoning ball not of a cds of sexual assaults and rapes against students in schools. some perpetrated by senior school students themselves. hum, buy school employees, and others sigh outside does. more than

a 1000 schools run by the delhi government are to be covered by the scheme, but it's dividing opinion across the board. as did a record responded. alden pot reports this government school in delhi became one of the 1st schools to install cctv cameras in its classrooms at public areas. every day, hundreds of students here are constantly under surveillance with each moment of their day being phoned from the come put off is office principal rockridge. the yard can monitor every thing happening at his school. he says that camera footage allows him to quickly tackle problems like bullying at betty crime. something is there, okay, are a warning system. you can see there some students, if they have some kind of from a frank or something to they're also do so having the idea,

okay. you are being watched. everything is being recorded to that adds to that discipline, kill st. but many of the students feel uncomfortable at being under the gaze, all the almost $200.00 cameras in the building. they know the camera. i think no student would want to be watched by cameras in the classroom. and i'm sure if you are a student, you would want that either. so far, cameras have been installed in or 500 schools across the state. concerned with the growing number of cameras, the daily parents association has taken the state government to good thing to day. parents association head upwards at the goat them and her team are meeting the lawyer to discuss the case work. oh, but they are preparing for a hearing in the coming week and then we have our project. us is that live

streaming in the schools jeopardizes the safety and security of young girls and could lead do digital wires them. i waited from the perspective of parents, i think nobody has the right to see if my child or daughter is studying or not studying in the classroom, to seek or not even parents have that right. i see this moved by the deli government as encouraging a culture of light, still king stopping comedy, the intern at freedom foundation, an organization that defense privacy of rights and online freedom is also critical of the mass surveillance is constant. so the lens of children also has a negative impact on their social development. so what is happening essentially is that so means of children is being increased in the name of making them more secure than not getting more secure. instead, they are now being harmed, as increased security at the cost of privacy is hotly disputed around the world. india continues to rise up the list of countries who washed their citizens more

closely. the debate in delhi is whether school classrooms should be the focus of such serve alliance. many parents and students think not enjoyed him enough for more context. his doctor sent either my partner from giga, that stir german institute for global and area studies. and part of for dr. martha does research looks of the impact of digital surveillance on civil liberties. dr. mar. battle welcome. what does the research say? does camera surveillance in classrooms keeps students safe? i thank you for having me. yes. oh i, it is a different because i have been studying schools in delhi, in calcutta, in bangalore. so while ccd cameras are becoming standard practice, there is no standardization of best practices. however,

in the schools that i have been to one, these are mostly city based schools. there have been a, the bullying from down to an extent in the schools that i have gone to and interacted with parents with faculty members with students themselves. so when it comes to a bullying incidence, yes. and to an extent, last is gamblers have reduced these incidents of stocking of harris meant? oh baby. i had a lot of my assumptions also challenge to and i did feel you were in peace because i assume that students would be a good be. i would try to change their behavior when it comes to the cameras inside classrooms. however, point of time i saw that they did, they got used to it and they were not that aware of the cameras be there,

which was quite revolutionary of the kind of internalized ation of the surveillance mechanisms that is happening. so just based on what you're saying, good barrett of it would appear to have the correct argument of the beard. keeping children safe by installing cecily become rose in the government schools. zach wrote us, i would like to give it a kind of a curve yet. here because what's important is that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. that is, that you cannot gun and put cameras inside restrooms or in certain areas that we consider to be really private. and here this has to align with the purpose for which the data is be connected, as well as the processes in place to prevent the misuse of data. and this varies from schools to scorn. i go back to my point about standardization of practices. while some schools have put in place robust mechanisms where deed are gonna be

misused. some schools haven't. there hasn't been that since at dia, zation, when it comes to how do you handle that data? for how long do you handle that data, right? who has access to it for how long is it stored? all these questions are very important when it comes to, especially children, when the best data has to be handled with extra care. and there has to be extra due diligence here, right? so yes, but it had somebody happy with the decision on jared, the government that majority of the balance that i spoke to for them, it was a confidence building measures that schools during orientation when they had this parent or just going back to the point of purpose and a process and the digital data protection that india would you say the 3rd, the way it digital data is handled on the productions around. but defer to the way

that differ in india to the where their handle potentially in the worst, particularly the sensitization around that by west also, it has differences like in germany, it is pretty good. the standard wrinkles g to be, are, is, are there. and that is also the rules when it comes to the fundamental rights of digital data protection. but in india, it just lacks the garden digital digital personal data protection act ability, which is this is part media and game. now it has been passed and it gives god blanche to the goldman that a lot of white exemptions. and then i have your privacy concern. that's the 1st problem. we don't have a data protection bill act in place. second concern is we don't have a statutory body of data protection where people can resist conserve secret dresser . so that isn't there. so it's pretty lacks the data protection act,

but this is at the macro nearby. what i would like to stress here is that when it comes to schools that's at the micro level and where they be with parents and parents upgrading for good about their children's protection, at least now. and mind you like me putting money center information here that cc do you, me gamblers have become a standard practice across india from 2017 onwards for the past 6. see, i've been seeing this in bangalore in belin, ghana, in calcutta, in mall by recently long by one of those 65 paulson, the civic and private schools have brought in see to do the cameras. so these are also there, but the concomitant data projection measures those have not been please. so again, i stress the some schools do good work. they have these control rooms were very few

people have access to the data feed i some schools just put it in a reception area. i can see what happened in the city. so it's not standardized. let's look at that on a sergeant truck. do a little look at the non digital side of this argument because the government's claim continues to be looked. we want to keep students safe. therefore, we need to have to leave the cameras and based on some of the experiences that you have had, it seems to be working, at least in some schools. let's look at the other side of it. is this also a case of the government washing its hands off its own responsibility to ensure that school employees protect children? this is actually a very good question because our did. this also differs from state to state like in daily government, one of their flagship areas, as education and hen. and here,

there is this consultation constantly happening between the government officials and schools about especially the schools that are getting government support. so here the government cannot wash off its hands of security of children when it comes to this place because these are the scores are accountable to the government and the government is identically accountable to the waters, the parents. so in the video, they adorned private schools. here any we have some amount of autonomy when it comes to the safety of children, but here no one sees it. for example equal, you gotta for example, we see that the municipal corporation is talking to the schools and trying to install the city. we kept us outside the premises to prevent incidences of violence of crime, especially they started with schools which are guns only good schools or educational

institutions. so we see mixed picture from state to state. so here, so i don't think we can have a simple answer here to certainly a very different score time to the time, but i was in school which was many years ago. thank you so much for joining us to the doctors and get them up. i'll try for that context. thank you so much. my pleasure. and that's it for today they'll of course more stories from the region on our website, the w dot com, forward slash asia. and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter back again tomorrow at the same time with every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out. we've used them tim, one day in the footsteps of the rate before i'm in europe,
