Trinidad and Tobago Clinical Psychologist, Alicia Hoyte, has highlighted the impact of online learning on the mental health and well-being of students.
These include learning disrupted by socio-economic factors, increased exposure to online dangers, developmental challenges, and emotional and psychological distress.
This topic was addressed with participants on Day 2 of an interactive virtual ICT in Education-A Caribbean Forum.
The event is being hosted by the Caribbean Telecommunications Union and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural with the support of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.
Ms Hoyte further outlined the damaging impact of digital learning on parents and by extension, educators.
