This is to reiterate the need to protect the right to privacy of our learners in this digital age. For emphasis, the Department of Education (DepEd) strictly adheres to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in safeguarding our learners against abuse, neglect, and exploitation. DepEd issued DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012 or the "Child Protection Policy," reiterating DepEd's zero-tolerance policy for any act of abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying, and other forms of violence directed towards our learners.
