    The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Egypt (NTRA) organized a number of awareness seminars for the primary-level students of Egyptian-Japanese Schools in Cairo and Giza. These seminars were held in line with the State’s policy to expand support for Egyptian-Japanese Schools as a leading experience in the process of developing education. The seminars were also organized to contribute to preparing a tech-savvy generation capable of using digital services within the digital transformation process witnessed all over Egypt, and to implement joint cooperation frames between NTRA and Egyptian-Japanese

    Schools. Furthermore, the seminars aim to jointly raise teachers’ as well as students’ awareness of several telecom scopes; meanwhile, they add to the many awareness campaigns carried out by NTRA which seek to raise the societal awareness for all segments of Egypt’s community, particularly youth and children who aredeemed among the heaviest users of internet as well as social media platforms and applications.

    This series of seminars also aimed to raise awareness of cybersecurity basic principles and how to protect e-accounts and devices against penetrations. They also entailed introducing data and information security essentials such as creating strong passwords, two-step verification methods, and the right measures of handling fraud messages, where verbal explanations as well as interactive games were used to make sure students can easily understand the information provided. Moreover, the seminars included an awareness lecture for parents about NTRA’s role to protect users’ rights, in addition to introducing digital services like mobile wallets and their importance, and how to escalatetelecom complaints.

    During the seminars, the features as well as benefits of
