An information security training program for students in grades 7 through 11 should be based on a comprehensive approach that includes both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills.

As part of this approach, the initial phase of training should be forming basic concepts and knowledge about information security, such as:

• physical;
• hardware;
• software and organizational means of information security.

The next stage should be an introduction to specific risks on the Internet and dangers to children on the Internet. This will allow students to understand the possible consequences of careless attitude towards personal information and will expand their information culture in general.

In order to successfully shape the educational environment in the field of information security, it is necessary to train teaching staff who can teach children in this area.

At the same time, the basic information security courses should be deepened through laboratory work (e.g., on determining information leakage channels) and individual projects. In addition, we should not forget the role of parents in shaping children's information culture and safety on the Internet, and the need to use best practices in teaching information security, such as the CTF-oriented paradigm. Thus, the information security curriculum for students in grades 7 through 11 should include: * basic concepts and knowledge about information security; * familiarity with the specifics of Internet risks and dangers to children on the Internet; * preparation of pedagogical staff who will be able to teach children in this area; * deepening of knowledge by means of laboratory works and individual projects; * involvement of parents in the formation of information culture and children's safety on the Internet; * the use of advanced methods of teaching information security. ===== Main topics of information security lessons for teenagers ===== - The concept of information security and its importance in the modern world. - Protecting adolescents' mental health when using the Internet and online safety.
