        abstract = {Educational institutions are increasingly becoming targets of cyber attacks due to the sensitive data they handle, the widespread adoption of digital tools, and the diverse user base they serve. This paper presents a comprehensive framework to address the cyber security challenges faced by schools, colleges, and universities. By identifying key risks and proposing mitigation strategies, this framework aims to help educational institutions protect their data, systems, and stakeholders from evolving cyber threats. Educational institutions are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their vast repositories of sensitive data, reliance on digital tools, and often limited cyber security resources. This framework outlines the key cyber security challenges faced by schools, colleges, and universities and provides actionable strategies to mitigate these risks.},
