- A UNIVERSITY is helping coach the next generation of cyber security experts by supporting four secondary schools. Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is working with Glasgow City Council to provide more than 100 secondary school pupils and their teachers access to its technical infrastructure. The widening access partnership will allow teachers to develop learning materials and will provide students a platform to conduct digital forensic experiments as they work towards their National Progression Award in Cyber Security. In addition, GCU will run an online Cyber Futures session for the 100 pupils as part of Cyber Scotland Week, which runs from today until February 28.
