Let’s not think about cyber-safety in the context of computer science – computers have long been present in every area of our lives. Let’s think of it as a comprehensive idea for education in the modern world, says Dr Tomasz Gajderowicz* from the University of Warsaw

In this age of widespread internet use among children and young people, is IT at school enough? Maybe we should focus more on educating children about cyber-safety?

Definitely. We should focus on two dimensions of education in this area. One is the very safety of children online - this is something that is still taking shape. Please note that when social media emerged, there was little talk of privacy policies at first. Today, we are more aware of the dangers we face if we reveal too much online. Let us remember that the criminal world uses social media for criminal activities. So the first priority is to teach children to keep themselves and their loved ones safe online.
