Help Smartphone Free Childhood South Africa (SFC-SA) with 1000 volunteers for signing the petition advocating for Phone-Free Schools
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
LET'S HELP OUR KIDS LEARN, AND OUR TEACHERS TEACH! SIGN here - https://www.change.org/BanPhonesInSASchools Studies show that learners spend up to 20% of their classroom time texting, emailing, surfing the web, checking social media, and even playing games. Besides distraction, this is also linked to cyberbullying and sharing of inappropriate content, causing digital drama which all has to be resolved during valuable teaching time. Our children are losing valuable opportunities for learning, collaborating, engaging and socialising. And our teachers are frustrated too! South Africa's Constitution recognises that education is the basis for the (much needed) development of our country. And our kids deserve the best education they can get without unnecessary hurdles. Parents and teachers - let's stand together and take action now: support our petition to the Minister of Basic Education to ban phones from schools in South Africa! Switch phones off, switch brains on! Sign the petition here = https://www.change.org/BanPhonesInSASchools

Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
