Parents up in arms over Australian student database
Students in Australia may soon be forced to have their photos, interests, and aspirations profiled in a massive database meant to help educators keep track of their progress. The database, called OneSchool, is being pushed rather aggressively by the education system in Queensland, which hopes to profile all 480,000 public school students through year 12 in the state. Parents, on the other hand, have expressed concerns over security and privacy, sparking a heated debate between them and Queensland's Education Minister, Rod Welford.
