Google India and National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) have recently signed a pact to integrate a course on "Digital Citizenship and Safety" in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) curriculum in schools.

Students from class 1 to class 12 across 1.4 million schools in India would now learn how to become good and responsible digital citizens, through structured classroom modules on the social, ethical and legal aspects of Internet safety.

The curriculum is spread into four themes:

  • Being smart
  • Being safe
  • Being a digital citizen
  • Being future ready
