Government school students in Delhi to get lessons on using social media responsibly

Delhi: starting from how much information to share online to how to deal with cyber threats, over seven lakh students in schools under the Delhi government, the city’s cantonment board and NDMC will soon be given lessons on the “responsible use of social media”.

The month-long series of online sessions, which will be conducted for 1,040 schools, is scheduled to begin from November 23. The lessons are being conducted considering the increased usage of gadgets and exposure to social media during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Threat through the unknown and anonymous cyber world is a harsh reality nowadays. Ease of access and unmonitored reach has exposed the children to unscrupulous elements on the net,” said the Deputy Director of Education, Mohinder Pal.
