SCHOOL pupils in China have begun wearing smart uniforms equipped with tracking technology that sends a message to their parents if they try to skip classes.
The uniforms cost £17 and have two chips embedded in the shoulder areas which are linked to the schools facial recognition cameras and its central computer system.

There is a variety of colours to choose from and each school can adapt then to suit their own needs.
The technology is able to check on when pupils are in school, if they are late and don’t go straight home at the end of the day.
China has been at the forefront developing facial recognition technology.
It has been reported it has ambitions to create a system that can identify people within three seconds with a 90 per cent accuracy rate.
Every morning pupils are captured on 20 second video by the school’s facial recognition cameras and a message is sent to their parents’ phone and the school telling them they’ve arrived, China Daily reported.
Pupils’ movements are then tracked throughout the day and data gathered on their activities then uploaded onto an app for teachers and parents to see.
Any pupil leaving school without permission triggers an alarm at the school gate.
The uniforms are made by made by Guizhou Guanyu Technology, who have spent two years developing them.
Company manager Chang Chengfei told the MailOnline uniforms the had been rolled out in 11 schools Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, in southern China.
He said the technology is only used for tracking pupils when they are school grounds but not outside.
As well as the smart uniforms, schools in China have also been installing facial recognition cameras in classrooms to make sure pupils pay attention.
Pupils at Number 11 High School in Hangzhou, eastern China are carefully watched by three cameras positioned above the blackboard.
Cameras monitor different facial expressions and they are fed into a computer system to see if they are enjoying the lesson or if they are bored.
The New York Times has reported that there are now an estimated 200 million fixed facial recognition cameras in China.
In addition, the authorities are pioneering other ways of using the technology.
Chinese police have begun using smart sunglasses that can recognise your face in a crowd.
It means that authorities will be able to automatically spy criminals walking around a city, without having to actually memorise an offender's face.
The Black Mirror-style technology is currently being used by railway police in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, according to local sources.
Pictures of police wearing the scary smart-specs have been shared by Chinese newspaper People's Daily.
