On Monday 15 October, the Office of Disarmament Affairs and Department of Public Information launched a new education website devoted to Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Education. It is a part of the UN Cyberschoolbus website project which was created in 1996 as the online education component of the Global Teaching and Learning Project whose mission is to promote education from kindergarten to grade 12 or the equivalent about the United Nations and international issues on its agenda. The teaching material initially focuses on the issues of nuclear disarmament, small arms and light weapons, landmines, and child soldiers. It provides a host of education activities and curriculum for the use of teachers in the classroom or by students for independent studies.
