The modalities of how schools can monitor students’ social media usage will be done in consultation with parents and school managements.
Primary and Secondary Education Minister Tanveer Sait on Friday said schools would be asked to rope in parents and urge them to monitor the social media accounts of their children.
“Institutions should also monitor any misconduct that they come across on these platforms,” Mr. Sait said.
This, he said, would be applicable to high school as well as pre-university students. “There is a need to ensure that students do not get carried away or be misguided. There is a need to initiate measures so that it does not cause any danger to them,” he said.
“We need to find a surveillance that parents also agree with,” he said.
