As a ministry, we take various measures to protect our children from the dangers they may encounter in the digital world and to prevent digital addiction.

These platforms can host content that can negatively impact the social, academic, and psychological development of our students. Especially popular platforms like Instagram and Roblox, It can cause our children to slide into digital addiction and encounter uncontrolled content, which we can call digital fascism.
