In noting some of the many negative repercussions of the misuse of technology, such as lottery scamming - when personal data falls into the wrong hands, identity-theft, hacking, cyber bulling, distribution of child pornography, espionage, inciting hate and cheating on examinations, the Governor-General called on leaders in the field of education to be concerned not just with the nurturing of intellect and skill, but with influencing the consistent application of core values in technology usage. Reflecting on his well-known “I Believe” programme for excellence, the Governor-General reiterated the call for the prudent use of technology and the role of the home and school in promoting values and attitudes of integrity.
