AIS has been collaborating with government agencies including the Department of Mental Health and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, with a common goal to level up digital skills, and build a society that can use digital safely and responsibly.
Previously, the company has worked with the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of the Interior to bring the AUNJAI CYBER syllabus to educators and students of its affiliated schools nationwide. This kicked off in over 29,000 schools affiliated to OBEC around the country.

This comprises both deploying digital tech as a tool for users to negotiate the Internet safely, and the necessary knowledge to promote digital skills for Thai people to be clued-up, and enjoy the digital world securely and responsibly.
For this, we have developed the AUNJAI CYBER syllabus, designed in consultation with the Ministry of Education, the Department of Mental Health and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), which complies with the standards required for courses at Thai schools.
The syllabus instils and enhances digital skills and awareness through 4 Professional Skill Modules or the 4 P4, comprising 1. Practice, knowledge and understanding of using tech correctly and appropriately, 2. Personality, recommendations for personal protection online, 3. Protection, learning how to protect against cyber threats online and 4. Participation, interacting with appropriate skills and behavior for social media.
Until now, the AUNJAI CYBER course has reached over 224,886 people, including students of schools affiliated to OBEC, which has brought the syllabus to over 29,000 students at schools all over Thailand.
“Today, we have expanded our cooperation to bring the content of this course to a larger number of Thai people. On this occasion, we are honored to be partnering with a government body which has a key role in preventing cyber-threats at the national level, the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA).
Together, we will expand AUNJAI CYBER to the general public on a systematic basis covering every segment from children and youth to working people, the elderly and the disabled. We will achieve this through the mechanisms of NCSA, whose network reaches to the subdistrict and district level nationwide, including the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) and local administrative organizations. This cooperation is in the form of activities, field trips and joint communications through various channels.
“We are confident that this close collaboration with state agencies who are directly responsible for cyber security for the general public such as NCSA will help achieve the common goal of both organizations. This is to reduce the impact of cyber threats while building digital skills, which include competency in understanding, accessing and using digital tech beneficially and safely.”
Air Vice Marshal Amorn Chomchoey, Secretary General of the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) commented, “A key mission of NCSA is to address the risk from cyber-threats, and efficiently upgrade the nation’s cyber-security.
