HYDERABAD: National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has collaborated with United Nations Children’s Fund to release a handbook, ‘Safe Online Learning in Times of Covid-19’, focusing on prevention of students from the growing menace of Cyber Bullying and its impact on them and their education.
The handbook points that education departments have made efforts to ensure continuity of learning through various digital platforms with the help of electronic devices and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which makes them vulnerable to Cyber Bullying. It has a detailed set of dos and don’ts for students taking online classes to ensure their safety and mental health and also lists the helpline numbers and email ids to contact in case of cyberbullying.
The handbook also explains how to prevent and counter cyberbullying by not responding or retaliating to it. It advises students to have a strong password and security setup for various digital accounts and to build a wall between their public and private sphere of their digital life.
