Executive Summary
1. Parents worldwide see many important benefits stemming
from in-school
access to Internet applications, especially those that can help
children acquire
21st century skills needed in the global economy.
2. Two in three parents globally are aware that their
children’s in-school Internet
use could be data-mined for ad-targeting purposes. Intensity of
concern grows
in nearly every country when parents learn more about in-school
data mining.
3. Although a majority of parents hold schools the most
responsible for curtailing
Internet tracking, four in five parents worldwide report that they
would take
action against the practice themselves. But parents welcome
appropriate
Internet applications in schools if strong privacy safeguards are
in place.
