Eureka! Institutional Repository

The adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from secondary education institutions is not only related to their use in the teaching process, by the teaching staff (as a subject of study or as ancillary technologies), but also to all the functions and actions of the educational unit, by all staff, with a prominent one of the administrative organization. The subject of the thesis is: to record the problems faced by the administration of an educational unit in terms of threats from the adoption of ICT in the whole range of its activities, to highlight the importance of anticipating these threats, and the potential for successful management. In this direction, and taking into account the Greek and international literature and experience, a specific ICT security plan and threat prevention are proposed. Emphasis is also given, on the recording of the level of information, on the part of the directors of secondary schools, on the threatened risks and the preparedness they have to deal with. The work as a whole reveals that, despite the importance and intensity of the threats received by the training units due to the wide use of ICT in their processes, there seems to be no adequate information for the staff on the severity of these risks, so to be protected from serious mistakes, with potentially incalculable consequences. The intervention of the central administration of the Ministry of Education and its regional structure is imperative to create the appropriate processes through an ICT Security Plan with specific guidance - directions to the educational units, which will be constantly updated and will have aiming at the protection and smooth functioning of educational and general school life.
