mnealtx 0 #3 October 7, 2006 QuoteHome » EDRI-gram - Number 4.7, 12 April 2006 UK teachers are spied in classrooms 12 April, 2006 » Privacy | Camera surveillance Teachers protest against the installation of 50 CCTV systems with microphones in UK schools, used as surveillance measures by the school management. While observation in class was supposed to help teachers in improving their performances, the headmasters, who have also used two-way mirrors to survey the teachers, grade them according to the way they perform in class under observation. TES (The Times Educational Supplement) reported on 7 April that teachers were being "observed to death" and that surveillance was being used more like a punishment. Observed lessons are often graded on a scale of outstanding to poor. The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT), the largest teachers' union in UK, has proposed a conference motion to use "all means necessary" to stop the "yet another example of management bullying". NASUWT survey has found out that one in five teachers was observed more than six times last year. The union also expressed disagreement on the short notice given to some teachers on the installation of surveillance devices. Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said she had met an Oxford graduate having quitted teaching after only a year for having been officially observed at least once every three weeks,".

UK has today one of the largest law enforcement DNA database with profiles from 3.5 million people, including 500 000 children under 16 years old. The database was established in 1995. Privacy concerns regarding the database have been expressed, especially when the database was revealed to contained more than 50 000 DNA profiles of children who have never been charged with any offence. Recently, the UK Home Office Minister Joan Ryan has answered a question from the Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokeswoman Lynne Featherstone regarding the access of foreign law enforcement authorities to the database content. Ryan said that there have been 519 requests for details from the database since 2004, but no records are available before that year. Featherstone considered that "There are no real safeguards in place to control this huge database which leaves it open for misuse - and now we find out it's not only being misused in our country but also internationally." She also supported the idea of an independent watchdog to monitor the access of foreign law enforcement authorities to the UK DNA Database. On the other hand, the representative of the Home Office declared that: " The increasing ease of travel and communication between EU member-states has also resulted in a higher risk of criminal activity crossing the borders of EU member-states." He also added that the data were provided only when serious crimes were investigated.
