SERDANG: The Communications Ministry will visit 344 primary and secondary schools nationwide between May and August as part of its Safe Internet Campaign, which is aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness among students.
Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said the goal is to reach as many schools and university campuses as possible.
She said the campaign has already started in nine schools.
While all institutions are on the ministry’s list, Teo 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.
“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 here yesterday.
Teo said the campaign is supported by 196 trainers under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s Train the Trainers initiative.
These facilitators will conduct age-appropriate sessions on cyberbullying, online safety and digital literacy, Bernama reported.
At the Diabetes Day event, Teo served as one of the panellists in the event’s special forum discussing the intersection of digital health and women’s leadership.
