Western Australia to prohibit smart glasses in all public school classrooms
Education Minister Sabine Winton announced a ban on smart glasses in WA public schools starting Term 4 to prevent covert recording.
The Western Australian government will bar the use of smart glasses in every public classroom from the beginning of Term 4. Minister Sabine Winton said the measure is needed because the devices can capture video and audio without consent. The prohibition aims to safeguard teachers and students from hidden surveillance as the technology becomes more affordable and widespread.
Why it matters
The rule addresses privacy risks for students and teachers as wearable cameras become easier to obtain.
