 The topic we are going to talk today is respect for student privacy. As we understand that when we talk about the privacy, it is very important to provide the private space in a therapeutic environment. Hence, when we talk that the privacy is given in an academic setting to the student, that has given a different meaning. The rules and requirements regarding the confidentiality in the academic setting cannot be the same as the duty owed to the psychotherapist in a therapeutic setting. So definitely, the way we insure a privacy in psychotherapy, insure a confidentiality, that scenario as it is, with the same structure, it is a little difficult to maintain the student's exam privacy or the student's counseling setup privacy. Whereas student economic records are protected by law which is revealed in the classroom and informed among faculty and student is not uniformly explained by the law. When we are talking about the privacy of the academic record, it is very important to keep in mind that definitely when the grades come, the students will be informed, their results will be told in their classrooms, their parents will be informed, besides that, the record will be kept in the guzzet, even on the website, the overall results can be available in a consolidated form. But when we talk about privacy, what kind of privacy do we have to insure there? In today's lecture, we will talk exclusively about those topics. Where the students' records or their grades, if they are giving them an anxiety feeling that if they have secured bad results or in a subject, their performance is not as good as theirs, then they can have any kind of stress or anxiety because of that. So their self-esteem is not harmful, their self-identity is not revealing to others that these are the students who have 45 grades or they do not have any labeling on them. So in this way, we can display the academic records in a way that they can. Nevertheless, the ethical considerations apply and the careless disclosure that violates a reasonable right to privacy can cause students harm. If you have openly declared that these are the three students who have the least marks in their university, if we label them in this way, then definitely that is going to create a lot of distress in them and probably even very harmful consequences could be seen out of it. So we never display any bad academic record on the notice board or we never tag it by name that these are exclusive students whose GPA is below 2 or below 1.5 or things like that. They are the few important points that should be considered by the instructor to protect the privacy of their students. So in a teacher-student bond, where there are many factors that they are working on, there is an important factor between them which is the respect, regard, privacy and their rights are also included. Now don't share students' faces or names without explicit parental consent. This does not only go in terms of labeling them as a bad student, but in fact this is equally important if you are going to portray them as a high achiever. You can't just post their pictures and you can't just post their names on the notice board, on the website, on any social media or any newspaper without the consent of the parents and the student itself. Like if any of your students are going to take any topers or any distinction, even if you give them the news or inform them on social media, then the consent of the parents is definitely going to display their pictures. Similarly, this situation gets even more damaging. If there are any fee-defaulters or students who have performed badly in that semester, then make a list of their names with a list of their pictures and upload them on the web page, that these are the fee-defaulters and these are the students who have not performed adequately in the semester. So this could not be allowed by the ethical guidelines that you could do any such act which is going to defame the student and can create any kind of psychological distress and especially the self, you know, the loss of self-esteem because such serious consequences can happen at times someone can even take the life of himself or herself. So in the tender age of the students, they take very minutely care of these things and we never publicise them in such a way that they are either good publicity or they are bad publicity but good publicity is also consented and bad publicity is not allowed so that you can name someone badly. Then don't make any grades, assessment or any other part of the student's educational record public. A student's academic portfolio can never be publicised by his wife that anyone could access and then can further label them that he is the student whose life has never been good marks in general knowledge because you never know that this data can be used at any stage in life in the future. Let's say that there is an individual whose data is public and they say that marks in English have never been good in life and later by virtue of chance they become the teacher of English. So against that, this propaganda can be used from time to time that people don't like. So in such a situation, the number of someone's dates and information is not allowed to be publicised. This is the core part of Family Ethical Regulations and Act through which we can't public this. And the rules of Family Regulation Act say that you don't have to open every privacy, every name and every profile. If in doubt about something that might count, don't share. Pay particular attention to how you reply to publicly posted student work. If you have posted a student work with queries or comments, the way you reply is also very technical. I have gone through an incident in which a school uploaded the music performance of its students. It was a small school where under age 10 students were singing competition. In that singing competition, a student performed a duet song in English and the school posted it and gave parents consent that people would give good comments and would appreciate the extra-curricular activities of their students. But what happened was that the singing was very extraordinary and people started commenting that this is not an original performance and this is just lip-singing and these acts shouldn't be promoted to school and the school is not portraying the right picture and it is portraying the wrong picture of the school. The students of parents were very distressed that our students' achievements or their performance were wrongly understood by the public. They reported their defences to the school and there was a long debate on that. Some parents listened to the students' performance and appreciated them and cut short to that incident that in return the school has to remove that video because they were unable to publicly handle the comments which were being given by the public. So sometimes a very simple act would be turned up into a very trivial thing so we need to be very careful but need to be uploaded and but not. So don't use students' name without naming files. If you have kept students' records in school, university you cannot label them as the students graduated, the students who did not graduated, the students who got less than 45 percent marks or the star students and after that we tagged the names of the files. The files should be only with the broader caption and the inside the file could be the portfolio of the students so they should not be seen publicly. Then do be mindful to how commercialize your classroom. Because this is the digital age everything has been digitalized some teachers are doing live recordings of their classroom they are also uploading live student activities, schools they are uploading on pages. So what to do in this scenario social media can be a great way to offer feedback to developers of educational products but teachers should consider the most about products that include students can make them non-consensual spokespeople. Now if you have uploaded every type of activity and there is an open forum where people are watching it at times it becomes very difficult for you to manage that scenario because some such things can happen that people cannot understand some such class activities some such educational products whose understanding probably is not the audience of the students and they can turn out to be a bad decision rather it could be a good decision for you to upload these things that you are promoting your school promoting your educational sector so by saying this it needs to be very critical that how to maintain the privacy of your students and also how to maintain the decorum of an educational institute.
