Cyber Safety Education in Developing Countries
Rossouw Von Solms, Suné Von Solms
Cyber safety has become critical in today's world. Young
children specifically need to be educated to operate in a safe
manner in cyberspace and to protect themselves in the process.

necessarily possess the required resources to run extensive
educational programmes for children. Using open educational
resources, a cyber-safety curriculum has been developed. This
curriculum will empower teachers in junior or primary schools

have been completed, the curriculum will be made available to
primary schools in countries where governments or education
departments do not provide such educational material. Full Text
