PISQ students participating in an awareness seminar on Juvenile Police Department.
Doha: Pakistan International School Qatar (PISQ) joined a virtual awareness seminar regarding the Juvenile Police Department functions and services, arranged by the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Interior (MOI).
The webinar was conducted through Zoom video conferencing. A total of 50 students and 50 members of teaching staff, vice principals of girls wing, boys wing, and headmistress of Kindergarten attended the session.
The webinar was conducted in two live sessions, the first part was for the students and second part was delivered for the teachers. PISQ made all the necessary arrangements for the faculty and students at school premises to attend the webinar during school hours with ease. The event facilitators for the live sessions were Captain Shaheen Rashid Aldosari and Faisal Hudawi.
The main objective of the session was to introduce the Juvenile Police Department sections and its functioning in dealing with juvenile cases among the children of 7-16 years of age and create awareness about cybercrimes against the same age group children.
The MOI officials stressed upon the significance to be cautious while using social media and also advised the students to be careful and watchful while in the public places.
Students were advised to be vigilant while using social media platforms, not to interact with the strangers, not to respond to unknown messages, not to share personal information, family photos and location on social media.
Teachers were asked to make students aware of all these aspects and if they are unable to deal cases of crimes of children, they can report to Juvenile Police Department for phycological counseling of such students so that others are not deviated.
The principal and faculty of PISQ thanked MOI officials for organising such a beneficial Webinar which would help teachers and parents to make youth responsible citizens in the future.
