Ministry of Education Reaffirms Data Security for ScoutDD Platform
Dr. Warat Pruksatavikul, Deputy Permanent Secretary for Education, has addressed concerns regarding the personal data security of the ScoutDD application.
On August 21, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Dr. Warat Pruksatavikul, Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Education, issued a statement regarding the ScoutDD platform. The official emphasized the integrity and security protocols currently in place to protect the personal information of users within the system.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, particularly those involved in the educational sector or parents utilizing government-linked digital services, this announcement serves as a reassurance regarding the handling of sensitive data.
