CHILDREN in Bahrain are to get 'driving lessons' - in cyber-space.
They are to be taught how to navigate their way around the electronic world of computers and the Internet under a GCC-wide scheme.
Children aged up to 12 in schools across the country are to be included in the free International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) digital literacy certification scheme.
The scheme's governing body, the ICDL GCC Foundation, is offfering free ICDL certification to thousands of children across the region.
The initiative, which started in September this year, aims to develop computer literacy at an early age, to prepare Arab youngsters to use information technology as a tool for education.
