KICTANet . Dr. Grace Githaiga How can we ensure educational system are best suited in addressing children safety?
🔸 Without digital literacy it will be hard to address this
🔸 Aspect of mental health is key & be incorporated in learning processes
🔸 We need to start from young age on privacy.

KICTANet . Dr. Grace Githaiga How can stakeholders better intercept children digital safety?
🔸 We need to reflect on what point to start froms
🔸 A Multistakeholder approach will be best suited in this case
🔸 Address consent from guardians and caregivers

KICTANet It's interesting to learn that children are very interactive but then clueless and vulnerable while online. A weakness exploited by fraudsters to harm the kids.

'There's a big assumption that everyone knows where the problem is.
Data sets are usually built-in territory. The challenge is having your infustructure to be within the regional presence. So how do we make sure the data from another region being transferred out of territory…

A key step to this is ensuring children and young persons are made aware of the cyber threats and how to overcome them at the very young age.
