You are here

Fewer than half of K-12 students in the US are learning about cybersecurity, according to a survey by the nonprofit Education Week Research Center. The survey was commissioned by the nonprofit Cyber.org, and consisted of 912 teachers in 50 states and Washington, D.C. Kevin Nolten, academic outreach director for the nonprofit, said the findings highlight potential challenges for the future of the country's cybersecurity workforce.
