Border school in Nghe An installs cameras to prevent wife kidnapping

(Baonghean.vn) – In the mountainous areas, managing boarding students is very difficult. At night, many young men still sneak into the dormitory to cause trouble. Many even go to school to find female students to capture as wives.

This is the reason why 18 boarding and semi-boarding schools in the border district of Ky Son have installed camera systems to monitor and protect students.

Recently, Nam Tip Ethnic Minority Boarding Secondary School (PT DTBT THCS) installed a system with 8 surveillance cameras at locations such as: Student boarding house, teacher dormitory, school yard, livestock area, private kitchen for students... Currently, this camera system is being managed and monitored by Mr. Lo Xuan Sinh, the person in charge of managing boarding students.

Nam Tip School is considered the last boarding school in Ky Son district to install a camera system to manage students and monitor security in the school. Currently, the whole Ky Son district has 17 boarding schools and 1 boarding school that have installed a camera system.

The installation of cameras in boarding schools has received support from many people. Mr. Cut Van Quang - Chairman of the Parents Association of Nam Tip Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities said: "We welcome the school's installation of a camera system to manage the learning and living conditions of our children. This is a very good thing and will help our children be more aware of their actions."

Mr. Nguyen Cong Danh, Principal of Nam Tip Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities, shared that this is a boarding school with many students staying at school, with many ethnic minorities studying such as Mong, Thai, Kho Mu... Moreover, many nights, strange young men still climb the wall to cause trouble, many even come to the school to find female students to capture their wives. Although the conditions are still very difficult, to ensure the safety of students, we try to balance the budget to install a camera surveillance system. Thanks to that, everyone's awareness is raised, especially the more than 200 boarding students of the school."

Mr. Nguyen Hong Hoa - Head of the Department of Education and Training of Ky Son district said that the installation of cameras in boarding schools is not in the plan or direction of the district or the department. Schools that find the installation of cameras reasonable should apply it. "Boarding schools in Ky Son district have a large number of students, using surveillance cameras will certainly maintain security and order better. I think this is one of the effective management methods" - Mr. Hoa added.
