Las escuelas son conseguir el permiso del gobierno de fingerprint a todas las pupilas.
Los ministros publicarán la dirección que les dice que tengan la derecha de instalar los exploradores de la huella digital y de recoger datos biométricos de jóvenes de los niños tan como cinco.
Los datos se podían utilizar para supervisar la atención de escuela, para controlar coletas del almuerzo y para ayudar con la aplicación los libros de la biblioteca.
Libertad, el grupo de las derechas civiles, dicho: “Tenemos algunas preocupaciones serias que estos datos biométricos se están recogiendo de niños simplemente para la conveniencia administrativa.
“We want to know what happens to the data after the children leave. The police have the right to get into any database, private or public.”
Children, Schools and Families Secretary Ed Balls will outline the guidance in a written statement to MPs today.
It is expected to say that personal data, including fingerprints and eyeball scans, can be collected from pupils, with scanners at the entrance to classrooms, the school gates and in cafeterias.
Schools will have to consult parents first and will not be permitted to share the data with outside bodies. However, it is understood that schools will not have to gain written permission from each parent.
The guidance, written by Becta, the British Education Communications and Technology Agency, which advises the Government on technology in education, will go out to schools and further education colleges.
A Whitehall official said: “We know that schools are increasingly looking at technology to make their lives easier. Fingerprinting is popular in some schools as it frees up time for teachers.
“We leave it up to schools to decide what administrative systems to bring in to make their day-today running smoother. But some parents have concerns. This guidance will make it crystal clear.”
Ministers will clarify that data must not be used for anything other than the stated purpose or passed on outside the school. Staff must also erase all details when the pupil has left the school.
However, there are fears that school computers are not secure enough to keep data safe from hackers.
