UN expert recommends ban on facial recognition in schools.
Briefly

Brazil's educational system, emphasizing the best interest of the child, is compromised by facial recognition technology, which harms academic freedom and disproportionately affects black students.
Surveillance technologies like facial recognition transform supportive educational environments into security-focused settings, detrimental to student autonomy, trust, and the teacher-student relationship.
Research shows that states implementing facial recognition in schools overlook critical safeguards, leading to negative outcomes particularly for black children, who face increased misidentification.
The chilling effect of surveillance in educational institutions can stifle open dialogue, reduce interpersonal trust, and hinder the transformative potential of education.
