At the launch of the Child Online Protection Campaign at Kololo Secondary School,
@UCC_Official's Director Economic Regulation, Content and Consumer Affairs (DERCCA), Julianne R. Mweheire (
@JulesMweheire) shared findings from a survey of more than 5,700 students at the school.
The findings show that while 98.4% of students know how to use the internet, 88.5% have encountered digital harms, including cyberbullying, misinformation and hate speech. 74.2% said they never tell anyone about such experiences, including their parents.
The campaign will take this conversation beyond the launch through sustained student awareness, parent education, regulatory enforcement and collaboration among institutions working to protect children online.
