The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper asked the Prime Minister whether the Government accepts that children’s personal information, beyond basic identification and emergency contacts, should be treated as private and confidential under international child protection and data privacy standards. He further inquired whether the Grade Six English language module was prepared by qualified experts in child psychology and pedagogy, and whether any issue had arisen with the module due to failure to follow such standards.
