Description

This study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of course modules that deal with critical cyber security issues. It uses a broad definition of cybersecurity that goes beyond the technical perspective typically used in such discussions. The study examines the current state of cybersecurity education in schools, focusing on various aspects such as the quality of teaching materials, the topics taught, the distribution of topics, and the rating of topics by teachers. The study examines then the extent to which the respondents consider various topics to be important for cyber security education in schools.
