100,000 spy cameras watching British students even in loos

CCTV surveillance has been set up in playgrounds, classrooms and even toilets and changing rooms. The average secondary school has 24 cameras and an academy 30.

Some schools have a camera for every five children in the name of controlling violence, vandalism and theft, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

In a development, that has already provoked outrage, more than 200 schools have CCTV operating in changing rooms or toilets.

The extent of pupil surveillance was made public in a report by 'Big Brother Watch', a watchdog group, which was based on Freedom of Information replies.

It found there are 106,710 spy cameras in secondary schools and academies across England and Wales
