Are card turnstiles mandatory in schools?
The Ministry of National Education announced a phased move to card-based access infrastructure in all education institutions ahead of the 2026-2027 academic year.
Detail
A phased move does not mean every school installs the same hardware at the same time; the order and scope differ between institutions.
Once a turnstile is installed the real question becomes where that record is processed. The hardware produces a record; turning it into an answer is separate work.
