Approved teaching solutions
Care must be taken in selecting and using software for school activities to ensure the safety of the students and their data.
Before digital technology is implemented in schools and for recreational activities, an extensive analysis process is conducted, which includes risk assessments, processing agreements, and evaluating the impact on data protection. The principal is responsible for the use of information technology in their school and must educate parents about the approved use of the teaching solution.
