From this year onwards, 10th graders will be taught Cyber Security Law within the scope of their Defense and Security course, VN Express has reported.

Effective from Jan. 11, in addition to learning about the history and traditions of the Vietnamese armed forces, and studying laws on defense and emergency preparations, the students will have to cover cyber security. They are expected to know the basic concepts of network, cyber security, and confidentiality of personal information in cyberspace.
