This is the beginning of 2024 and the era of Technologies where we are continuously exploring new things which are quite cool and useful and easy-to-use stuff. One of these evolving techs is Cyber Security which is now evolving as a thing of great concern for different states of India as well as India as a whole. But along with that we come across a problem which is quite a huge one, the problem of education on Cyber Security to normal people.

My concern here is educating the children on Cyber Security with which they'll not only get to know about the whole Cyber Culture but will also be able to be some Best Solutions of Cyber Security both for the State as well as the Nation. But the thing to notice here is about the educators who will educate the children. In my view we lack those kinds of people here at least in Bengal. There are no "Good Teachers" of Cyber Security here to teach in schools neither we have such an infrastructure to develop one.

There's a recent news of inclusion of Cyber Security as one of the Subjects in School which is a great news at least for me and for this I'm really grateful to the State Govt. But my TOC (Thing Of Concern) remains the same "Who'll provide them the quality education on Cyber Security?" because as children as well as a beginner they'll have no good knowledge of it & if they aren't provided with the good quality materials and stuffs the investment into this will be of no use. And moreover if the children are left with half knowledge they'll develop no interest into this field and would end up quitting it in future.

There are Professors and Experts teaching the subject in colleges but will those experts teach in a school? the concerning question lies there. According to me they should but will they?

The solution to this problem is, the State Govt. should now setup a teaching structure where the professors there should get the interest of teaching the students and get well paid for that. There should be a good infrastructure where students will practice and gain knowledge out of it.

With the help of this article I would request the State Govt. to look into this matter and develop such things in Bengal by which the students will not have to depend on other states for such quality education.
