Steps taken to make internet safe for children: Jabbar
DHAKA, Feb 05, 2019 (BSS) – Posts, Telecommunications and Information
Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar today said all necessary steps have been
taken to make internet safe for children.
“We have taken initiatives to filter harmful contents to ensure safe
internet for children. It is essential to make ICT education compulsory from
primary level to create awareness among children,” he said.
The minister said these while addressing a conference on safe internet for
children organised by UNICEF at Software Park in Kawran Bazar area in the
capital.
“We need to provide children-friendly contents on internet as it is very
hard to find such things nowadays. The government is trying to save all
specially children from harmful contents. It is very hard to tackle this
problem as those contents are being uploaded from outside of the country,”
Jabbar further said.
The minister also laid emphasis on adopting plans for raising efficient
human resource with ICT knowledge to tackle the challenge of 5G and execution
of those plans.
