Ensure student safety during online classes: panel

‘School and the police should take steps to prevent entry of cyber criminals into classes’
Educational institutions should ensure the safety of students while making use of various platforms for online education, the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has said.
Acting on a complaint from Amal Saji, State ambassador of the Rakshak national awareness campaign for protection of rights of children, the commission, comprising member K. Nazeer, on Tuesday directed the General Education Secretary and the Director of General Education to issue instructions to the institutions not to share the same link for online classes multiple times and instead use new links and new passwords to prevent online crimes.
It called for sensitising students and parents to the need to ensure that outsiders do not get the links for classes or passwords. Each class should use one specific ID and password.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
