SINGAPORE: A device management application (DMA) installed on students devices does not track personal information such as their location, identification numbers or passwords, said the Ministry of Education (MOE).
In response to queries from CNA, the ministry said the application will, however, capture data on students online activities such as web search history to restrict access to objectionable material . It will also capture device information such as the operating system to facilitate troubleshooting .

A software that will be installed in students learning devices will capture data on their online activities such as Web search history, but it does not track personal information like location, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said yesterday in response to privacy concerns.
The device management application (DMA), which lets schools manage students usage of tablets or laptops used for learning, will not keep tabs on details like their identification numbers or passwords.
Mr Aaron Loh, divisional director of MOE s educational technology division, gave this assurance in response to criticism that the DMA would infringe on students privacy and freedom.
