JAKARTA Last year, TikTok successfully held a roadshow for six schools in Jabodetabek with the SEJIWA Foundation. Through this roadshow, TikTok wants to educate about digital security.

This year, TikTok will reach more schools with new partners. Through the TikTok Teen Safety Campaign 2025 show, the Chinese company said it would continue the roadshow to ten other schools in the Jabodetabek area.

Like the previous year, this digital security counseling only targets teenagers in high school and vocational schools. The reason is, TikTok can only be accessed by children over 14 years old, but a number of TikTok mainstay features can only be used by children over 16 years old.

"We are aware of the importance of sustainable education about digital security for parents and adolescents," said TikTok Indonesia Communications Director Anggini Setiawan. "This year, we want to invite more parents to be actively involved in their teenage digital journey."

Anggi also revealed the reason they continue to run the educational program entitled Seru Berkreasi and #SalingJaga. Based on the UNICEF report in 2024, there are 30 million children who use the internet in Indonesia. Of these, 74 percent of them use gadgets without parental supervision.

Although young people understand better how to use social media, many of them are still in danger of using digital platforms. In addition, not a few children try to access sensitive content or adult content.

This needs to be considered by parents who often ignore their children's digital activities. Therefore, TikTok conducts direct education to various schools with the SEJIWA Foundation. This year, TikTok will also be accompanied by our family as a new partner.

Our family is a non-profit organization that focuses on family education in Indonesia. Together with this organization, TikTok will compile and socialize practical modules to help parents understand the risks of the digital world for teenagers.

"We also finally cooperate with our family because we feel we have no reach like our family has," said Anggini. "Parents actually show a big response. They want it, but they haven't been exposed to it. The teenager is more savvy."

Last year, TikTok visited six schools and not only met his students. This technology company met a total of 600 participants consisting of students, parents, guardians, and teachers. In this second year, the target of participants will remain the same.
