EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS are being urged to appoint data protection officers to monitor compliance with the Data Protection Act, 2020 and report non-conformity not remedied within reasonable time.
The call comes from Information Commissioner Celia Barclay, and is in light of the anticipated implementation of the legislation later this year.
She was speaking at a recent hybrid Cybersecurity and Data Protection Forum for educators and administrators, hosted by e-learning Jamaica Company Limited in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Youth.
