At Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School, educators have noticed that even students and families who are in the country legally are feeling intimidated by President Trump's immigration proposals. The school, which serves refugees and immigrants, accelerated its exam schedule due to concerns that many students would miss school after Trump took office. Some parents, such as Iris Gonzalez, a mother of two in Boston who is in the country illegally, view schools as one of the last safe places for them to go without fear of being targeted by immigration authorities. The new policy on immigration enforcement at schools may lead some immigrant parents to keep their children home out of fear of deportation, even if they face little risk, according to Michael Lukens, executive director of the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights.

Despite being a top target for cybercriminals, many educational institutions in the UK lack basic protections such as antivirus software and strong password policies. A third of schools have not adopted advanced measures like managed detection and response, and only 44% of primary schools and 36% of secondary schools have a cyber insurance plan in place. The main reason cited for this is budget constraints, with 37% of institutions saying they cannot afford to implement cybersecurity measures due to budget prioritization.

The kit has been completed by over 4,000 students as of January and the police are working with universities to implement it more effectively.
