'Cyber curriculum' to defend UK against attacks

Thousands of teenagers are to be given lessons in cyber security in the hope they will boost Britain's defences against hackers and terrorists. The Cyber Schools Programme aims to train 5,700 teenagers aged between 14 and 18 over the next five years to develop some of the key skills they would need to work in cyber security. A "cyber curriculum" will be drawn up to mix classroom and online teaching with real-world challenges and hands-on work experience.
