Under the banner of the ‘Cyber Surakshit Goem’ campaign, the Goa Police Cyber Crime Cell, in collaboration with the Department of Education, successfully trained around 450 high school computer teachers in cybercrime awareness during a four-day training program held at SCERT, Porvorim, from November 21-25, 2024.
Following this intensive training, these teachers have begun conducting cyber awareness sessions in their respective schools, reaching approximately 35,000-40,000 students across Goa. The sessions focus on educating students about emerging cyber threats, modus operandis, safe online practices, and preventive measures to avoid falling victim to cybercrimes.
