NEC has been holding NEC Internet Safety Classes since 1999 to teach children Internet rules and ethical behavior to prevent them becoming either victims or instigators of Internet crimes.

Since 2012, NEC has been working in cooperation with the non-profit organization "eparts" to bring this program to elementary school students (middle and higher grades), using computers to teach the safe use of the Internet and using board games to raise their awareness of security.

The Internet is now indispensable as a method of acquiring information from around the world and for communications, and can be connected to from a wide range of devices including personal computers, tablets, mobile phones, and smartphones.

Furthermore, as the use of smartphones has increased keeping people almost permanently connected to the Internet, troubles among lower aged children related to the Internet are on the rise and causing social problems.

This program draws children’s attention to pitfalls related to the Internet from an early age and provides them with tools to navigate the Internet safely, preventing the occurrence of these social problems.

NEC aims to create an environment where children can effectively and safely utilize the Internet.
