A governmental organization in Kenya responsible for film regulation has started a digital literacy program to assist parents and guardians in strengthening their knowledge of how to protect the youngsters under their care.
According to local news outlet The Star, the Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) stated that its surveys had revealed “an information vacuum” that needed to be closed.
According to The Star, the project also aims to benefit instructors.
According to Emmah Irungu of the KFCB, “We realize that children themselves know more than the parents when it comes to digital literacy and being cyber-savvy.”
So, in addition to including safety features, products, and tools in our products, we also included educational tools to help parents build a safe atmosphere in the house.
To coincide with Safer Internet Day, it debuted on Tuesday.
The launch of the Parents Digital Literacy Program (PaDil) coincides with the 10th commemoration of Safer Internet Day under the theme: Together for a safer internet. @ChrisWambua_ @NellyMuluka @netflix @Google @TikTokSupport @ohitoaol@SDY_Ke #KFCBonDigitalParenting pic.twitter.com/Y6mtbfJspe
