The school's move comes amid concerns about China's surveillance of its citizens.
A Chinese university has defended its move to set up a facial recognition system in selected areas on its campus so it can keep tabs on its students.
In a pilot project, China Pharmaceutical University in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, has set up cameras that use facial recognition software. The system will be used at the university gate, as well as at entrances to the dormitory building, library, lab, and two classrooms.told news website Thepaper.
"The school is taking action to cut down on students skipping class, leaving classes early, paying for a substitute to attend classes for them and not listening in class. "A class room is a public place, so this system will not lead to a violation of personal privacy," Xu said.
