Government plans wireless security tracking of Nigeria Students

Government plans wireless security tracking of Nigerian studentsThe Federal Government is implementing a programme for wireless monitoring of students to stem the rate of truancy and kidnappings nationwide, companies implementing the project for the Ministry of Education have announced.

U.S.-based East Coast Diversified Corporation (ECDC), through its subsidiary EarthSearch Communications, Inc., has announced it received purchase order and shipment to NairaNet Technology, Ltd. for wireless pilot project with Nigeria’s Ministry of Education to improve security and class attendance at schools nationwide, the company said in a statement.Under the programme, EarthSearch “LogiBoxx” integrated GPS/RFID system, in conjunction with NairaNet
Technology, has developed a network to wirelessly monitor student attendance and access control at Nigerian schools nationwide.

The LogiBoxx technology will provide school authorities with not only access to real-time information on a particular student’s class attendance, which would be useful for school administrators to take proactive steps against truancy, but would also enhance access control and security at schools to prevent kidnappings across the country.CEO, ECDC, Kayode Aladesuyi says, “our technology and the solutions we offer can be a game changer in improving access control and security, while improving class attendance and enhance learning in Africa’s largest economy.”he adds that, “in addition to Nigeria, we will also look to deploy these student monitoring systems for other school districts around the world to showcase how they can implement our technology to combat poor student attendance and security.”EarthSearch Solar Powered GPS and RF readers avoid power shortage issues which are a common occurrence in Nigeria.

“We are delivering an innovative solution powered by Green Energy”, says Aladesuyi.According to the statement, the School Connect project is the creation of Chairman/CEO, NairaNET Technology, Kenneth Adoki who says,“Education is the future of our nation, providing real time class attendance information to both school authority and parent creates a parent/school awareness that can only enhance the educational process.

Our Culture And National Identity

Our Culture And National Identity Our country, Ghana is a multi ethnic, multilingual and multicultural state: it contains many ethnic groups, many languages and therefore, many cultures. There are several problems generated by the ethnically and culturally plural structure of our nation. One problem is how to weld the consistent ethnic groups into a new,certainly, larger socio-political association for the welfare and benefits of all the groups, how to create a unity out of plurality; in short, how to integrate the constituent ethnic groups into one nation: this is the problem of nation – building, which is expected to result in national integration. Another problem is how to avoid ethnic conflicts which can tear the nation apart. There is also the problem of how to create a national culture that we can describe as “Ghanaian culture”, rather than Akan culture or Ewe culture or Dagomba culture or Ga culture, and so on. A further problem is about the creation of a national identity, so...

IBM Developed A Chip To speedup Internet Services Using Light

IBM Developed A Chip To speedup Internet Services Using Light IBM says it has developed a chip that makes it easier to shuttle data about via pulses of light instead of using electrical signals. The firm says it should offer a way to move large amounts of information between processors in computer servers at higher speeds than at present. These provide computing power and data used by apps and other net services. One third-party expert said the significance of the innovation was that it was much cheaper than other options. IBM New Chip Details of the development are to be presented at the International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco later. Optical connections The team behind the development said that using light, rather than the flow of electrons, to transmit data has two key advantages.Data can be sent longer distances between different parts of a server centre without the risk of losing information.Data transfer speeds are faster as light can be used to carry mo...

Five ways Microsoft plans to get you to upgrade to Windows 10

Five ways Microsoft plans to get you to upgrade to Windows 10 Microsoft wants Windows 10 on one billion devices by 2018 - and its tactics for hitting that ambitious goal are about to get more aggressive. From next year, Microsoft will be more direct in pushing Windows 7 and 8.1 users to upgrade to its latest OS, in an attempt to bolster the 110 million-strong Windows 10 userbase. Here's how Microsoft is about to crank up the pressure to make the switch. 1. Windows 10 will automatically begin installing itself From "early next year", Microsoft will change the status of the free Windows 10 upgrade so it is classified as a Recommended Update. Given that most home machines are set up to install Recommended Updates automatically, the change to Windows 10's update status will lead to most Windows 7 and 8.1 machines beginning the upgrade. However, Microsoft says that before Windows 10 is installed users will need to manually confirm the installation, giving them a chanc...
