The DepEd Learner Rights and Protection Office introduced the initiative to commemorate the Safer Internet Day Philippines 2023.

The e-learning course is composed of five-hour video lessons, subdivided into 15- to 30-minute discussions of significant topics.

It can be accessed through https://www.deped.gov.ph/e-learning-courses/.

The course was designed to enhance the knowledge and awareness of participants on various child protection concerns that learners might face and build familiarity and awareness of the various DepEd policies and issuances pertinent to child protection.

Moreover, the asynchronous training aims to clarify the roles and responsibilities of school-based CPCs and enhance their awareness on how to handle child protection concerns.

“We hope that our regional office focal persons, school division office focal persons, and school Child Committee Protection members across the entire country will benefit from this e-learning course, which can be accessed on DepEd’s LRPO website, which will be redirected to SFI’s e-learning platform,” Atty. Suzette Gannaban-Medina, Officer-In-Charge of the LRPO, said.

“Let us remember that the safety of our learners — both online and offline — is our shared responsibility,” she added.

Meanwhile, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte lauded the LRPO for its initiative to protect students from the potential harms found on the internet.

“We firmly believe that protecting our students from the dangers the internet poses and providing them meaningful access to digital tools that let them exercise their civil, political, economic and social rights to the fullest extent possible are both imperative,” Duterte said.
