Thailand Launches Traffy EDU Reporting Channel for School Bullying and Safety Concerns
BANGKOK, October 7, 2026 — Thailand’s Ministry of Education has introduced Traffy EDU, a new LINE-based reporting channel designed to give students, teachers and the public a clearer way to report bullying, harassment, violence, unsafe school conditions and other education-related safety concerns.
Deputy Education Minister Akarnan Kankittinan announced the initiative on October 5, saying it is part of a broader effort to establish a more consistent system for handling safety complaints across the ministry’s different education agencies.
One channel for education safety reports
Akarnan said safety complaints had previously been handled separately by different agencies, potentially leaving students and members of the public uncertain about where to report problems involving vocational institutions or schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC).
The Education Minister has therefore ordered the ministry’s various safety centres to operate under a unified name, with OBEC taking a leading role alongside the Office of the Permanent Secretary.
The Centre for the Protection of Rights, Liberties and Safety is also expected to be incorporated into the proposed new National Education Act, according to the deputy minister. He said the move is intended to ensure the centre can continue its work regardless of political changes.
Confidential reporting and whistleblower protection
The ministry said information submitted through Traffy EDU will be handled with the highest level of confidentiality.
Administrators responsible for handling cases must verify their identities through ThaID and comply with Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
Akarnan said education administrators who attempt to identify complainants or pressure them over their reports would face an immediate disciplinary investigation.
The platform is intended to provide a reporting channel for more than 400,000 students and teachers nationwide, while allowing authorities to identify problems and intervene before they escalate.
They can also pin the location, upload photographs or video footage and track the progress of their cases through the system.
Reports sent to central and local authorities
Information submitted through Traffy EDU will be transmitted simultaneously to central authorities and local education-area offices, allowing officials to coordinate their response.
Authorities said the system will not focus solely on legal proceedings.
The Centre for the Protection of Rights, Liberties and Safety said rapid psychological support would also be prioritised for people affected by incidents.
Multidisciplinary teams and psychologists working in education areas will coordinate with relevant outside agencies, including police, local administrations and the Interior Ministry, when necessary.
The initiative is intended to give students and teachers a clearer avenue to report problems while strengthening confidentiality, case tracking and coordination across Thailand’s education system.
