Teenagers promote online safety message in primary schools

Primary schools are learning about internet risks from TY students, Education Correspondent Niall Murray says.

THE benefits and risks to young children of using the internet can be easily found by listening to the experiences of fourth-class pupils.

Two older boys who returned to their old classroom found out just that when they taught an online safety programme to nine- and 10-year-olds at St Joseph’s National School near Cork’s city centre.
