    "Students expand their knowledge of age-appropriate electronic services and needs, recognize their role in everyday life, their goals, and strive for their safe, critical use. During the development of the services, the observation and understanding of the operation, the testing of the individual functions, the identification of the operation algorithms, the understanding application of the procedures and the development of the critical approach will be emphasized. After learning about several services, comparing each service and the procedures used can support systematization, and articulating needs can help develop a critical approach."(see page 7)

    Digital Education at School in Europe (Eurydice Report), 2019

    "The majority of European education systems have explicitly included learning outcomes related to all five digital competence areas. In descending order of prevalence these are: information and data literacy, digital content creation, communication and collaboration, safety, and problem solving (see Figure 1.5)" (see p. 10)

    “For the purpose of this focused analysis, eight of the 21 digital competences in DigComp have been selected, taking at least one from each of the five areas (…)

    Protecting personal data and privacy (safety area): the increasing relevance of this competence is reflected in European curricula, as nearly 30 education systems have explicit related learning outcomes in secondary education, and nearly 20 in primary education (see Figure 1.7)" (pp. 10-11)

    “ENHANCING LOCAL IT CAPACITIES AND CAPABILITIES

    Cyber security threats pose one of the greatest challenges to developing countries and modern economies alike. Hungary therefore implemented a specially designed cyber security development project in Uganda aiming to enhance local defense capacities and capabilities. The project included the establishment of a Malware and Forensic Analysis Laboratory, in addition to the provision of necessary trainings. The project was completed in May 2020.” (p. 3)
