Ms Sabine Frank:

We have to empower parents to understand that the online world is no different from the offline world. They might not be on top of all the technology and changes to it but they know how to raise their kids. Accordingly, online education is no different from offline education. This is where we have to empower them.

European studies show parents are aware of their role in this regard but we need to help them, as the Chairman said, to better play this role. Parents have a key role next to teachers and companies such as YouTube in this regard. We all have to take our share. That is why YouTube has dedicated resources to educate parents. In Germany, schools hold parent events after school hours at which parents are helped to better understand the online world. We would be happy to assist the committee on this.
