The Uganda Communications
Commission (UCC) has launched a Child Online Protection Campaign at Kololo
Secondary School, bringing together students, educators, Government and other
stakeholders to promote safer and more responsible use of the internet by children.
The campaign seeks to
strengthen efforts to protect children as they increasingly engage with digital
technologies and online platforms.
The Permanent Secretary at
the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, Dr. Aminah Zawedde, called for child
protection efforts to keep pace with the evolving digital environment, urging
parents, schools, technology companies and Government to play their part in
creating safer online spaces.
“Children should not be kept
out of the digital world; they should be equipped to navigate it safely,” she
said.
The campaign brings together
key stakeholders to promote awareness and encourage responsible internet use
among children while supporting efforts to create safer online spaces.
