    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s an honour and a privilege for me to write to you on the occasion of this special issue of our beloved Fundamatics, focused on Cybersecurity. I am no funda-man in this deeply technical subject, which is of unprecedented importance to us individually, as a society, and as a sovereign nation. The excellent articles in the issue cover most of the aspects of this subject.

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Supporting school education often focuses on resources like labs, computers, or extracurricular coaching for students, while professional development for teachers is frequently overlooked. Developing teachers offers significant leverage for improving education, especially in under-resourced schools. In many cases, teachers, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas, are left unsupported, affecting the future of many children.

    This initiative addresses the gap by providing physical and digital support to teachers. Workshops are conducted to empower the teachers with methodologies to shift from providing rote learning to competency-based education, and continuous on-the-job assistance will be provided through an app with relevant content and nudges. The aim is to transform classrooms from the ground up.

    We welcome you to contribute, to engage with teachers or support the technological aspect of this initiative, making a substantial impact on the future of education, or in any other way you think we can serve this cause together.
