A pragmatic approach towards the integration of ICT security awareness into the South African education system

摘要

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can play a major role in improving the standard of education in South Africa. The increasing use of ICT (mobile phones, PCs, tablets) by South African school learners imposes the need for stringent ICT security awareness initiatives. These initiatives will protect school learners against the dangers associated with growing ICT use. This article presents a practical framework for the integration of ICT security awareness into the South African education system. The framework is called the ICT Security Awareness Framework for Education (ISAFE) and its details are discussed in this article.
