📋 Tender Overview
The Slovenian Institute for Education, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Government Office for Information Security, is organizing a week of cybersecurity education aimed at professionals in education.As part of the Digital Education Weeks for employees in education, a series of cybersecurity training courses began on June 2 under the auspices of the Slovenian Institute of Education under the slogan Cybersecurity: Recognize, Act, Prevent! A total of more than 1,800 professionals will participate in the training. Digital technologies are also present in the educational process in the modern world. In addition to numerous advantages, they bring challenges that are a result of growing online threats, false reports of dangerous situations, intrusions into school information systems and the spread of harmful digital content. Cybersecurity experts emphasize that aware individuals play a key role in ensuring adequate protection of important systems, data and networks. The eight-hour training will focus on raising awareness among professionals about identifying online threats, presenting examples, protocols and guidelines for rapid action in crisis situations, and providing them with the opportunity to equip themselves with strategies and guidelines that can help them take action to ensure cybersecurity. "Since school-age generations are one of the most vulnerable groups in society and at the same time the group that is most exposed to the use of modern technology, it is even more important that we ensure their safety in the school environment and contribute to raising awareness of the meaningful, safe and efficient use of technology as much as possible," emphasized the Minister of Education, Dr. Vinko Logaj, at the start of the training. The Director of the Institute of Education of the Republic of Slovenia, Mag. Jasna Rojc, added at the start of the training that culture, not technology as such, is actually of key importance when it comes to cybersecurity: "Cybersecurity is not just a technical issue. It is a question of culture, responsibility and cooperation. Educational institutions play a key role in educating digitally literate users - today's students, pupils, future citizens of the digital society. " "It is important that we see cybersecurity as a shared responsibility of everyone - both decision-makers and teachers and other experts who co-create the educational environment. I believe that these trainings will encourage even more in-depth reflection on how each of us can contribute to a safer and more trustworthy digital space," welcomes the training of employees in education, said the Minister for Digital Transformation, Ksenija Klampfer, MSc. The Ministry of the Interior, with its two bodies - the Police and the Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia for the Interior, plays an important or leading role in ensuring public security in the country, and certainly also plays an important role in identifying security threats that arise in cyberspace. This space is extremely large and complex, difficult to control and even more difficult to prevent all threats that may arise. "The security situation in Slovenia is stable, but we are not immune to the threats posed by global cyberspace," said Minister of the Interior Bostjan Poklukar. "Cyberspace can be misused for various threats, and to some extent the school environment is also exposed to them. The task of the police and other competent authorities is to detect these threats in a timely manner, carry out preventive activities and, through appropriate response planning, prevent further damage. We may not be able to prevent all threats, but through constant mutual cooperation both at the level of state institutions and directly with schools, we can do a lot to ensure that we are well prepared for modern security threats," emphasized Minister Poklukar.
