Ms. Sudeshna Chatterjee, Director Principal of EuroSchool Airoli said, “As our world becomes increasingly digital, the challenges what we face on day to day basis are also changing. Keeping our children safe in today’s virtual landscape should be on top of every parent’s priority list. As schools, parents and children learn to adapt to the virtual way of life, digital-led platforms like CyberSmart will empower us to enable students to use cyberspace judiciously. Understanding cyber safety is more significant when working with, or caring for, young children as they cannot make their own decisions.”
“It is heartening to see educational institutes like EuroSchool join us in the mission to create awareness about safe cyber behaviour. The pandemic has pushed us to resort to virtual means of imparting education. Coupled with India’s giant leap in digital learning initiatives, the need to identify protocols for a safe cyber landscape, has now become even more important than ever before,” said Shamini Murugesh, Honorary Chief Mentor, WCF.
