The Safe and Creative Media Development Fund, in collaboration with the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA), has developed a media literacy and monitoring curriculum and digital intelligence enhancement program for primary school students. To promote the curriculum, a teacher training program was expanded to include primary school teachers to provide foundational knowledge about unsafe and uncreative media, as well as media literacy and monitoring skills. This program aimed to ensure teachers could access the curriculum, develop and adapt its content for their lessons, and participate in collaboration with Thammasat University. The project has received a positive response from a network of primary school teachers and educators from various educational institutions across all regions, with many actively participating in the training and implementing the curriculum in their classes.
