Cyber safety for school children a case study in the nelson Mandela metropolis

Abstract

Protecting the youth against the dangers posed by cyber space has become a matter of national priority. Parents often lack the necessary cyberspace know-how, to teach their own children how to be safe online. It has thus become the responsibility of society at large to educate the youth. This paper reports on a cyber safety poster creation campaign in the Nelson Mandela Metropolis in South Africa. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2013.
