Tom writes,

The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy 
(DBCDE) have issued a request for tender for an "E-Security Education 
Module for Australian Schools". Given that the government is funding 
increased broadband access for schools, these seems a wise move:

---
"This module will be delivered free to all Australian schools and 
will complement the Australian Government's cyber-safety initiatives. 
The Service Provider will also develop an evaluation methodology to 
assess the effectiveness of the module.  The Service Provider will 
also update the module annually until Financial Year (FY) 2009/10 and 
then redevelop the module in Financial Year 2010/2011 to keep pace 
with changes in technology. ..."

There is a 65 page tender document describing the project. It provides a
useful summary of the Government's cyber-safety initiatives .. excerpts:
