CCTV in classrooms 'serves no educational purpose'.THE use of CCTV CCTV abbr. closed-circuit television CCTV closed-circuit television cameras to monitor teachers at work in classrooms has been criticised by union leaders. Four schools in Salford, Greater Manchester, have installed the cameras in training classrooms. Teachers also wear earpieces so they can get feedback from observers while they work. Dr Mary Bousted, head of the ATL (Active Template Library) A set of software routines from Microsoft that provide the basic framework for creating ActiveX and COM objects. Stemming from the standard template library (STL) that comes with C++ compilers, ATL includes an object wizard that sets up teaching union, said: "It would be hard to see how teachers or support staff will behave naturally if they are being monitored. "They are likely to be quite nervous if they feel they are being watched on camera. Chris Keates, of the NAS/UWT union, said that the use of CCTV had no "educational benefits". |
