Japan warns G8 education meet over children, computers

Japan called for safeguards to protect children from exposure to "anti-social" information over the Internet at a meeting of G8 education ministers in Moscow on Friday.
"We have to encourage information morals... so that children have sufficient power or knowledge to choose good information and they can protect themselves from harmful anti-social websites," Haruko Arimura, Japan's Parliamentary Secretary of Education, told AFP after the meeting.
"ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is not a cure for everything," Arimura said. Russia was hosting the meeting as chair of the G8 group this year and set three main themes for the agenda: education for all, professional training and education for migrants.
