• Social media platforms are reshaping education by amplifying curiosity and collaboration, but also pose risks like misinformation and virality. • TikTok, led by Trust & Safety Lead Asma Anjum, is committed to creating safe and inclusive digital learning environments. • Key safety measures on TikTok include: • Restricting access to users over 13, reflecting developmental readiness. • A multi-layered content review process focusing on learning value, age-appropriateness, and factual accuracy, supported by AI and human moderation. • Features like #LearnOnTikTok, #StudyTok, creator verification for educational content (e.g., STEM Feed), and interactive prompts to encourage engagement. • The platform prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity to bridge digital literacy and device availability gaps across diverse regions. • For Sri Lanka, the emphasis is on cultivating digital literacy and responsible online behavior. • Realizing this potential requires collaboration among government, educators, and platforms to bridge connectivity gaps, ensure equitable access, and prepare the next generation to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
