I don't get the focus on the Chinese if we talk about surveillance in the education system. What is currently done in schools and university made me pretty glad I am done with it. It is just irresponsible to violate privacy of pupils and students and if administrators cannot keep up with technological development, they need to employ more competent people or make place for those that can raise to the challenge. Not saying it would be easy, but the current "solutions" aren't acceptable.
