Why is facial recognition implemented in children's classes in Astana? A pilot initiative was launched in the capital to use facial recognition systems to verify actual presence in clubs and free sections funded by the state. Main details about the project: The technology is designed to eliminate cases in which budgetary funds are allocated to classes that children do not actually attend. The project is implemented as part of the unified state arrangement for further education, which allows children to study for free. Collection and processing of biometric data of minors is carried out exclusively according to law, and the system itself has been tested at the certified center of Infosert LLP. The pilot project was tested in two private organizations in Astana at no cost from the budget, and a similar experience is already implemented in several regions of the country (Atyrau, Karaganda, Kyzylorda and Aktobe regions).
