The NSW Education Department\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/lifestyle\/parenting\/school-life\/sydney-high-school-backs-down-on-fingerprint-scanning-for-students-to-use-toilets\/news-story\/818cdce419c79fef50f6fbe9fe06da49\">has since noted<\/a>\u00a0the school is still considering how it will handle anti-social behaviour and the community will be \u201cconsulted\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While the fingerprint plan appears to have stalled, it shows how easily biometric technology can be introduced into schools.<\/p>\n<p>This debate may seem new to Australian parents but it is set to become an increasing issue, thanks to a rapidly growing education technology (\u201cedtech\u201d) sector.<\/p>\n<p>How is biometric data being used in schools and what questions do parents need to ask?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Biometric data in schools<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Biometrics measure a person\u2019s unique physical or behavioural characteristics to identify them. This could be a fingerprint, face, iris, voice, or the way you walk, type, behave, or express an emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Biometric technology was first introduced in schools in the United Kingdom around 2000. It has since become a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/defenddigitalme.org\/research\/state-biometrics-2022\/\">routine part<\/a>\u00a0of school life. Fingerprints and facial recognition are used for things like the canteen payments, library borrowing, door access, photocopying, locker access, vending machines and laptop access.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/17439884.2020.168601\">often argued<\/a>\u00a0these technologies save money, time, are efficient and can respond to students\u2019 individual needs.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, fingerprint technology was introduced in some schools around 2006. Schools also use palm scanning and facial recognition technology, although a small number of states have laws regulating the use of biometric technology in schools and Florida has banned it completely.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t yet have a clear sense about the extent to which biometric data is collected in Australian schools. But in 2018\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/national\/victoria\/minority-report-crackdown-on-facial-recognition-technology-in-schools-20181005-p5080p.html\">concerns were raised<\/a>\u00a0over trials of facial recognition technology to mark the roll in some Victorian schools. In 2015, parents\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adelaidenow.com.au\/news\/south-australia\/east-para-primary-school-pupils-to-have-fingerprints-scanned-as-part-of-new-student-attendance-recordkeeping-program\/news-story\/6623d38216455a7d4db7482c8b695aad\">raised privacy concerns<\/a>\u00a0when a South Australian primary school asked students for a fingerprint to \u201cregister\u201d for the day.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why is this a problem?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The UK\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/people\/fraser-sampson\">commissioner for biometric material<\/a>\u00a0Fraser Sampson is calling for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/defenddigitalme.org\/research\/state-biometrics-2022\/#foreword\">ban of biometrics in UK schools<\/a>. As he said in a report this year:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Harm is already very real [\u2026] Further risks to the rights and freedoms, and full and free development of the child, may not be fully realised yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is similar to other calls in France and Sweden. We do not have enough independent research or a broad enough understanding of potential harms, which could range from privacy to security, identity theft, and infringements upon children\u2019s rights and freedoms.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The rise of edtechs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Meanwhile, biometrics are part of a booming edtech sector, which is about using technology to improve teaching and learning outcomes. They can be used for school management as well as in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com.au\/government\/government-matters\/education-tech-edtech-revolutionise-education-institutions.html\">According to PwC<\/a>, edtech is the second largest startup community in Australia (behind financial technology) and has more than doubled since 2017. Globally it is estimated to be worth US$250 billion (A$376 billion).<\/p>\n<p>But while edtech companies collect information about students, we still don\u2019t have a good understanding of how this is then used. Or adequate regulations to protect this information.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year in New York, about 820,000 public school students had\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.k12dive.com\/news\/data-breach-exposes-820k-new-york-city-students-information\/621352\/\">personal information exposed<\/a>\u00a0after a cyber attack on a company that provides software to track grades and attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Biometric technology can easily be integrated into everyday edtech and school operations to manage things like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12008-021-00760-6\">attendance, exams and how students learn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reports by the UK\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalfuturescommission.org.uk\/beneficial-uses-of-education-data\/\">Digital Futures Commission<\/a>\u00a0highlight the intense pressures and uncertainties schools, students, and parents\/caregivers face in a rapidly expanding edtech system. Many school community members\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalfuturescommission.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Governance-of-data-for-children-learning.pdf\">struggle to make informed choices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>10 questions to ask about these issues<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Australia lags behind other countries in understanding the short and long-term repercussions of biometrics in schools. But we can catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward we need more community education about different biometric technologies and a public register, so there is transparency about where technologies are being used, introduced and refused.<\/p>\n<p>Parents, teachers and school communities need to be better equipped to scrutinise the potential benefits and harms. In most cases this will also need technical, ethical, policy and legal expertise.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/education-futures-studio.sydney.edu.au\/2022\/09\/story-five\/\">workshop<\/a>\u00a0between universities, industry and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techforsocialgood.org\/about\">advocacy groups<\/a>, we developed information to help parents, schools and policymakers think about these issues and work together to discuss them. Next year we will release a resource for people to learn about edtech, register specific cases across schools, and critically evaluate technologies.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are some basic questions parents can ask if a biometric technology is being used or proposed in their child\u2019s school:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0exactly what information is being collected, when and why?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0how is the data being stored, processed, and analysed?<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>\u00a0who has access to the system and how will it be maintained over time?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong>\u00a0what data privacy and security provisions are in place?<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong>\u00a0what happens if I\/my child opts out?<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong>\u00a0what implications are there for the time and expertise of teachers, and other school staff?<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong>\u00a0is there enough independent evidence to support claims a new technology will improve learning or school operations?<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong>\u00a0how will funding this technology impact other school budget and resourcing priorities?<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong>\u00a0is there another way to address this issue, rather than using a biometric solution?<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.<\/strong>\u00a0has my school community had a meaningful opportunity to learn about and discuss this change?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Teresa Swist is a Researcher, Fiona Suwana is a Lecturer, Kalervo Gulson is a Professor and ARC Future Fellow, Education &#038; Social Work, Education Futures Studio and Terry Flew is a Professor of Digital Communications and Culture all at The University of Sydney<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Sydney high school recently introduced fingerprint technology to \u201chelp narrow down\u201d students who were vandalising school toilets.
