Cyber skills are increasingly vital in today’s digital era, where the internet plays a central role in daily life. As reliance on digital technologies grows for communication, education, work, and entertainment, understanding and navigating the digital world safely and responsibly have become paramount.
Recognising this importance, a not-for-profit dedicated to ensuring the safety of tamariki (children) online, Tātai Aho Rau Core Education, was honoured at this year’s Ngā Tohu Reo Māori (Māori Language Awards) for its innovative Pūkenga ā-Ipurangi Aotearoa cyber skills programme. This programme, developed in collaboration with an Australia-based cyber security education firm, equips people, especially tamariki, with the skills to stay safe online and make informed decisions about their digital interactions.
