There are multiple reasons to why schools have a definite requirement in having security mechanism installed within the school premises. Security mechanism prevents vandalism, criminal activity and bullying. For this reason, unlike earlier where security systems were not integrated in every school, over the years, be it schools in India and boarding school, CCTV security mechanism are installed in school premises and outdoor play areas, canteen, auditorium to keep a check over everything and monitor vandalism.

It has been observed that after integration of security mechanism in schools in India, there’s a massive control over vandalism on school properties that was otherwise the biggest issue for school budgets. The installation and usage of security cameras have been upheld to reduce vandalism, either by catching the committer or discouraging such activities from occurring in the first place.

Surveillance cameras are essential in keeping a check over bullying acts. Bullying has consistently been a significant issue in schools and majority of students have been victimized, but as aforementioned, it’s only after integrating surveillance cameras, things have been kept under control.

According to one of the faculty members of a school, “We integrate such security mechanism in school not just to keep a check over students’ activities, but it infuses a sense of discipline amongst students and above all, parents have this assurance that their children are at the right place.” Notorious activities such as bunking class and harming the school property such as chairs, desks and other things has been a consistent and problematic issue in schools, but again, presence of contemporary gadgets at strategic locations, such as buildings and school property premises prevent any sort of damage to the school property.

The School security personnel that monitor the screens and view security camera positions hand over a monthly report to the school administration department and besides this, inform school staff in case of any emergency like fire or a natural calamity so that immediate action can be taken against it. Last but not the least; fire extinguishers are also kept in schools in India and boarding school to avoid any sort of mishaps. After all, it’s about security of the students which cannot be compromised with at any cost.

Thus, being a guardian if security factors are worrying you then, here’s the time to throw away the baggage of strain as every school has security arrangements with them to avoid any sort of mishaps in their school.
