The National Centre for Education Development NSCED has spoken out about a rise in cyber fraud among young people in Ghana. This is a growing worry for the nation.
NSCED officials stated that more young Ghanaians are participating in online scams and illegal activities. The exact numbers are still being gathered.
The center believes this trend requires immediate attention from educators and parents. They are calling for stronger measures to be put in place.
NSCED wants more awareness campaigns to reach young people. These campaigns will inform them about the dangers and consequences of cyber fraud.
Educational initiatives are also planned. These will focus on teaching digital literacy and responsible online behavior.
The goal is to prevent youth from falling victim to scams or becoming perpetrators themselves. This effort aims to protect the youth and the public.
The NSCED stated that by working together, schools and communities can build a safer online environment for everyone.
