A taste of what you get-- the script
I am not saying that ICT is a panacea to all problems, and in fact, some question being raised in your letters are valid, especially those concerning the potential harm of ICT. The school adopts a multi-thronged approach to deal with them. First, to mitigate potential harm to students’ physical health, the school vows to beef up efforts to promote good posture among students when they are using electronic devices. And plans are in the pipeline to purchase more ergonomically-designed computer chairs. The rule of not staring at a handheld screen for more than 15 minutes will be strictly enforced. Secondly, a proactive approach is adopted to combat cyberbullying and to enhance students’ awareness of cybersecurity. We will launch a campaign to promote responsible and ethical online use, beginning with a poster design contest. Students’ welfare is our first and foremost concern.
