The program will be conducted in 14 schools across seven districts, including Morang, Bhaktapur, Sunsari, Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Tanahun, and Kaski. As part of this initiative, 28 educators, including headmasters, attended a three-day Training of Trainers (TOT) program. These trained educators will go on to conduct digital safety sessions in their schools to celebrate Safer Internet Day.
