Introduction of Information and Communication Technologies has been prioritised within the school environment to keep up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the rise in artificial intelligence. As with the use of any technologies within the school context, there are compliance policies in terms of the use of technologies. These policies set out cybersecurity compliance for learners. The policies are often violated or overlooked, rendering them partly or completely ineffective. During the current systematic literature review, cybersecurity compliance within varying school environments was therefore investigated. We employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology by analysing 61 online articles collected from EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and Sabinet, for the period 2019 to 2024, focusing on schools globally. We employed this methodology, which will allow our readers to assess the reliability and transparency of our information, the reasons for conducting the review, and the results we obtained. After going through all the steps, nine articles, which fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were used for the analysis. The findings show that a lack of reporting violations or inadequacies in terms of cybersecurity incidents involving learners contributes to a low level of compliance culture within schools. Ineffective communication to and by learners themselves by using phrases interchangeably, means cybersecurity compliance could hamper correct knowledge transfer. Refresher courses and awareness campaigns are more popular than comprehending cybersecurity compliance, thereby breeding complacency among learners. Further, stakeholders who implement Information and Communication Technologies in schools fail to follow up on compliance, leaving the administration and enforcement of Information and Communication Technologies in the hands of ill-equipped school managements. The findings of the current study can be presented to various stakeholders to assist with the improvement of cybersecurity compliance, so they are adjusted to be fit for purpose in varying schools. The current study also attempted to make a practical contribution by encouraging the development of frameworks that would ensure effective cybersecurity compliance with policies in schools.
