This study investigates the feasibility of using wearable technologies in education to improve safety. This article explores how wearables may be used to improve school safety and wellness, as well as their advantages, disadvantages, and future potential. The article covers a wide range of wearable gadgets and their respective safety-related features, from smartwatches to location trackers to panic buttons and biometric sensors. Privacy issues, data security, user acceptability, and ethical considerations are only some of the problems and hazards discussed in this research on wearables in education. This study the neutrosophic set to deal with uncertain data. The neutrosophic set is integrated with the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) CRITIC method. The CRITIC method is used to compute the weights of factors and rank it. There are 15 factors used in this study. The case study is applied in the education field. Educators, technologists, and legislators all need to work together to guarantee the safe and effective use of wearable devices in schools, as shown by the study's findings. The article reiterates the importance of wearables and their potential to enhance safety measures in education before making the case for more studies, pilot programmers, and policy development to fully realize their promise.
