e-Safety Literacy of Primary School Principals

e-Safety competence is proving to be crucial for the educational community, creating a safe digital environment for students while supporting them in developing their digital skills. The e-Safety literacy of school principals ensures the safety of their students, especially in primary school. The aim of the study was to investigate e-Safety literacy related issues of primary school principals focusing on exploring what they know about e-Safety as well as what actions they are taking to promote e-Safety issues to teachers and parents and how they rate the level of knowledge and skills of teachers in their school on e-Safety issues. Ten primary school principals participated in the study answering a semi-structured interview. The results showed that all participants have a satisfactory level of knowledge about the risks of the internet, consider it important to inform parents about e-Safety, and request targeted training on e-Safety management issues in the educational community.
