MANILA - The Department of Education said Tuesday it was holding a series of webinars on child protection for parents and teachers as learning moves away from classrooms and into students' homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
"It aims to capacitate school leaders, teachers, and parents on child rights in education, child protection in education in the time of COVID-19, and positive discipline in education for parents and guardians," the department said. The first session was held Monday with children's rights in education and development as topics. The succeeding webinars will be streamed on September 8, 14, and 15.
UNICEF Philippines earlier urged the government to train health, education and child services staff on COVID-19-related child protection risks, which include prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse.
