Connected Generation, Privacy at Risk?

---

In a world where students grow up surrounded by screens, apps, and online classrooms, digital footprints are no longer avoidable—they're inevitable. But while education embraces technology, who's protecting the privacy of the very learners it serves? From surveillance software to data-hungry platforms, students’ personal information is often collected without their full understanding or consent. This debate invites us to reflect: how do we balance the need for digital tools in education with the fundamental right to privacy? Where should schools, parents, and tech companies draw the line?

@Bousl2336873cb4In today’s technology-driven learning environment, digital footprints are an unavoidable reality for students. While digital tools enhance access, engagement, and efficiency in education, they also raise serious concerns about privacy and data protection. Students’ personal information is often collected, stored, and analyzed without clear awareness or informed consent. This issue highlights the urgent need to balance the educational benefits of technology with the fundamental right to privacy, and to define clear responsibilities for schools, families, and technology providers in protecting learners.
