Background of the Study
School security is a growing concern worldwide, with increasing reports of unauthorized access, violence, and theft in educational institutions. In Katsina Local Government Area, Katsina State, secondary schools are facing similar security challenges. Traditional security measures, such as manual attendance registers, security guards, and access control, may not be sufficient to ensure the safety of students, staff, and school property.
Biometric authentication systems, such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition, provide a modern solution to this problem by offering a more secure and efficient method of identifying individuals. These systems can be used to control access to school premises, track attendance, and monitor student movements, thereby reducing security risks. By integrating biometric technology into school security frameworks, secondary schools in Katsina can enhance their ability to prevent unauthorized access and respond more effectively to potential threats.
