Cyber safety protocol in place for schools

Kerala has rolled out a cyber safety protocol for school students across the State.

Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) prepared the protocol following a recommendation made by the Assembly Committee for the Welfare of Women, Children, and Differently Abled.

The protocol, meant for safeguarding the State’s school children from cyber attacks, leaves the onus on school heads for ensuring a series of guidelines. Head of an institution should ensure password protection for Internet searching.
