Deputy Education Minister Backs National Cybersecurity Committee to Build Digital Defenses and Strengthen AI Security for 2026

On April 28, 2026, Deputy Education Minister Akkhranon Kanngittinun joined an online opening ceremony to encourage participants in the training program "Enhancing Knowledge and Understanding of Cybersecurity Learning Activity Curriculum." He emphasized the critical importance of developing cybersecurity skills and expressed confidence that participants would apply their knowledge practically, while indicating plans for future in-person regional visits.

The Department of Learning Promotion (DLP) Director Dr. Kestitip Supbwanit presided over the training in collaboration with the National Cybersecurity Committee (NCC). The event included NCC Secretary-General Gen. Omorn Chomchoy and attracted over 16,000 educators and administrators nationwide.

Operating under the 2023 Learning Promotion Act, the DLP aims to provide citizens with "access to accurate knowledge" anytime and anywhere. As the digital world becomes integral to daily life, cybersecurity awareness has become a national priority. The collaboration between DLP and NCC represents a unified effort to build "digital immunity" among education personnel, who will serve as key disseminators of knowledge throughout communities.

The training curriculum covers both theory and practical applications, including digital technology fundamentals and cybersecurity, daily cyber threat prevention, safe AI usage, and digital fraud awareness. The Deputy Education Minister emphasized that DLP personnel must evolve from "technology users" to "knowledge practitioners" and "cybersecurity community builders" through enhanced digital skills and lifelong learning. This collaborative initiative with the NCC's experts marks an important foundation for creating a Thai society that is "digitally aware, secure, and uses technology creatively" while adapting sustainably to the digital era.
