Internet has become the lifeline of our life today. Internet, all of us have also become a part of a cyber world wherein we share and access resources, connect and interact with many people. Just like real world we need to be cautious and alert while working in this cyber world as well. Cases like cyber-bully, Online Grooming, Phishing, Juice Jacking, Threats due to Keyloggers, Threats due to spam mails, online fraud, racial abuse, pornography and gambling had increased tremendously due to the lack of awareness and self-mechanism among Internet users to protect themselves from being victims to these acts. However, past studies revealed that the level of awareness among Internet users is still low or moderate. One of the vital measures to be taken is to cultivate knowledge and awareness among Internet users from their early age, i.e., young children. Young children specifically, need to be educated to operate in a safe manner in cyberspace and to protect themselves in the process. Today it is necessary for our students as well as teachers and parents of children to know about the safe use of the Internet. In this review paper, some strategies related to awareness education related to cyber security in schools have been discussed.
