Departments Collaborate to Enhance Safety for Davao Students (NTC and DepEd Team up to Strengthen Security for Pupils in Davao)

Heads up, parent's time to get involved! With the new school year just around the corner, the National Telecommunications Commission-Davao Region (NTC-Davao) and the Department of Education-Davao Region (DepEd-Davao) are gearing up to ensure student safety, both online and in real life.

Leading the charge is NTC-Davao Regional Director Nelson Cañete, who's focusing hard on digital safety given the rising risks kids face in cyberspace. Cañete encourages parents and guardians to step up their game, reminding everyone that the internet is no safer than the bustling playground or park - there are still dangerous characters lurking around.

To spread the awareness regarding online threats, NTC-Davao is ramping up its campaign on the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (Osaec) Act. They'll keep urging people to be mindful of cyberbullying, grooming, online sexual abuse, and digital fraud, issues that are growing more prevalent among the younger generation.

Now, let's not forget DepEd-Davao. They're jumping in with logistical support to bolster peace and order in schools. Most recently, NTC-Davao gave J. Soriano National High School five short-range radios for better campus communication and security operations. Similar donations are coming up for Ma-a National High School, Davao City National High School, Daniel R. Aguinaldo National High School, and Tugbok High School.

Canete stresses that this partnership marks a multi-faceted approach to student protection. It's not all about being tech-savvy; it's also about readying our schools for the thousands of students returning to classrooms across the region. So, parents, keep your eyes on those screens, and let's make sure our kids are safe, inside and outside the digital world.
