Zambia uses facial recognition to stop exam fraud

The Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) is using a facial recognition system to stop examination fraud and impersonation. 

It says this is designed to ensure only registered candidates sit for exams, in case someone is hired to take the exam on someone else's behalf.

The candidate's face is recorded on the final certificate after an exam. 

Parents are required to verify their children’s information online before the candidates’ register is finalised.
