A Senate bill aiming to include internet safety education in elementary and high school curriculums has been filed to safeguard children from online risks.
Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada filed Senate Bill 1934 or the Internet Safety Education Act “to empower” children with tools for “safely navigating the virtual world early on and minimize, if not eliminate, its threats and dangers.”
In filing the bill, Estrada cited the 2017 call from the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) for the global community to create a safer digital world for children.
