*ZICTA PAYS A PROFESSIONAL VISIT TO ESA*
27th February 2025 has been placed on records as a team of professionals from *Zambia Information Communication Technology Authority (ZICTA)*, led by the Regional Manager Miss Chewe Mutale paid a courtesy call on the school, to sensitize learners on the prudent use of cyber space.
The Regional Manager started by highlighting ZICTA's mandate such as cyber security, consumer protection, licence issuance to media houses and working hand in hand with law enforcement agencies to curb crimes.
The Manager was quick to state that children below the age of 13 should not be exposed to social media platforms as some contents may not be appropriate for the under aged. It was discovered that most of the children are already exposed to cyber space which calls for quick intervention by educators, parents and other stakeholders to regulate access.
"Use internet for researching school work, do not spend time on things which will not help you excel in your academics. If you have TikTok account, freeze it when you get home because you will be watching things you're not supposed to see" She echoed.
Finally, She encouraged learners to work very hard for them to realize their dreams of becoming who they want to be after school and to always stay online safe because cyber related crimes are on a rise
