TikTok #education collaboration plan faces criticism
"Education #Ministry spokesman Piti said te ministry’s objective isn't to encourage #children to spend more time on #socialmedia. Rather, it's to equip them w appropriate, safe & responsible #digital #literacy & #AI literacy #skills so they can navigate te modern world effectively. Te core principle, he said, is tt “ #technology shld be a tool for learning, not te goal of education”"
🤔🇹🇭Good but why tie it to 1 platform?
