Introduce guidance for schools to limit or regulate parent WhatsApp groups

Background

Many parents find school WhatsApp groups overwhelming due to the volume of messages. Simple questions often lead to multiple repeated replies, while less important discussions can bury key information.

Additional details

Many parents rely on WhatsApp groups for school information, but the volume of messages can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Questions that could be answered by checking previous messages, official school communication, or asking one parent directly are often sent to entire groups, creating unnecessary noise. This increases the risk of missing important updates and adds to digital overload for busy families.
