The University of Macau (UM) pledged in a statement yesterday that the CCTV cameras installed in some of its classrooms would only be switched on during exams, after some local media reported earlier this week that the public university was planning to install CCTV cameras in all its classrooms for security reasons.
The statement was sent to local newspapers last night.
Government-owned broadcaster TDM’s Portuguese-language radio channel – Radio Macau – on Monday reported that the university had so far installed cameras in 19 classrooms that would be used as venues for English certificate exams, quoting UM as saying that the CCTV cameras there would not have voice recordings.
