Instagram has announced a new program with which it is associated with schools so that it is the educators themselves who denounce the social network the harassment situations they detect. ‘School Partnership Program’ recognizes the role played by teachers and educators in the lives of children and adolescents and offers new resources to help them navigate in digital spaces, in order to “address bullying and online security problems.”
To participate, schools must register in the program. Once validated, they become school partners. With this new role, they identify that their students are experiencing harassment in the social network can report it and the platform will give them priority.
This program has been launched as proof in the United States, in which all secondary and high school schools can participate, as announced in its blog, and has been designed together with the International Society for Technology in Education and the Association for Curriculum Supervision and Development (ISTE+ASCD).
