SERDANG: The Communications Ministry will visit 344 primary and secondary schools nationwide between May and August as part of its Safe Internet Campaign.
Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said the goal was to reach as many schools and university campuses as possible. While all institutions are on the ministry's list, she noted that participation depends on whether they are open to hosting the programme.
"For secondary school students, we'll focus on preventing the misuse of technology, and at the university level, the emphasis may shift to job scam awareness," she told reporters at a Diabetes Day 2025 event at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) here on Sunday (May 18).
Teo said the campaign was supported by 196 trainers under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission's Train the Trainers initiative. These facilitators would conduct age-appropriate sessions on cyberbullying, online safety and digital literacy.
She added that the campaign has already started in nine schools and would continue expanding to more institutions over the coming months. – Bernama
