DOHA: Vodafone Qatar, in partnership with the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MOTC) and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, have delivered more online safety workshops at 11 primary schools that benefitted close to 1,000 students. This follows workshops conducted late last year at 10 other schools.
This comes as part of the MOTC and Ministry of Education's collaboration to raise cyber-safety awareness in the Qatari community and Vodafone's AmanTECH online safety programme, which aims to equip children, parents and teachers with the right tools to navigate the digital world safely.
In February this year, Vodafone Qatar and the MOTC had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on a wide range of cyber safety initiatives that would ensure continuous and effective awareness and education throughout the community.
The workshops required the children to perform tasks related to safety online to learn specific skills including identifying fake news vs real, safe online gaming, self-image and reputation online.
