I felt this report was important, since the digital world is certainly developing at a high speed and our debate needs to keep abreast of this development. For this reason, I expressed my support and voted in favour of this report. The internet is an increasing presence in the lives of children and young people, and at an increasingly early stage. It is important that schools keep abreast of changes in the digital world. Schools must instruct children and young people in the practical, safe and critical use of digital technology and the internet. As schools and teaching take on an increasingly digital aspect, it must be ensured that the know-how of teachers also remains at the level required by today’s world. I would like to express my thanks to Ms Costa for this comprehensive and commendable report, which on the one hand highlights the opportunities of digital technology relating to school life and teaching, but on the other hand reminds us of the dangers faced by children and young people in an online environment. Minors are capable of using the internet with ease, but to use it sensibly and responsibly they often require help. Child protection, especially the protection of privacy and the combating of unsuitable content, is of primary importance. On the other hand, positive opportunities which digital technology offers young people need to be supported and promoted: an example of this is the digital citizenship emphasised in the report. It was easy to vote in favour of this report."@en1
