An Overview of International Cyber-Security Awareness Raising and Educational Initiatives (2011)

New Zealand – Campaign 5 – Schools & ECE

This aspect of the Netsafe campaign is intended to deliver and communicate Netsafe’s combined resources (including Hector’s World) directly to schools. Although the Netsafe team will do staff and/or parent presentations on their material on request, they ‘would rather see teachers within a school delivering all facets of cyber-citizenship education themselves’.
