This paper argues for integrating dedicated cybersecurity courses and programs within school and higher education curricula to drive mass cyber-socialization and develop responsible digital citizenship among youth. Immersive cybersecurity education through simulations, community linkages and holistic culture building can transform habits and mindsets to address risks like hacking, misinformation and privacy breaches students face online. Recommendations are provided for nationwide implementation through policy measures, public advocacy and educator capacity building. Mainstreaming cyber education can empower youth with competencies and values for secure and progressive digital futures.
