Delhi Schools to Introduce Cybercrime Awareness Program

The Delhi Directorate of Education has instructed that all government and private school principals use banners and posters to raise awareness about cybercrime among students.

According to a circular released on Friday, the information is expected to be provided by the Delhi police, which has created a series of booklets on cyber safety, cyber fraud, cyberbullying, online pornography, drug misuse, bullying, human trafficking, and online predators.

“This initiative aims to educate students on preventing cybercrimes and ensuring their safety in the digital world,” the DoE said.

Schools have also been instructed to collaborate with local police and cybersecurity experts to organise educational sessions.

“These sessions will help students understand essential topics such as recognising and reporting cyberbullying, protecting personal information online, the importance of strong passwords and privacy settings, and identifying scams and phishing attempts,” the circular read.
