Device Management Application (DMA) Installation
Device Management Application (DMA) Installation
- Your child’s/ward’s PLD will be installed with a DMA to provide a safer digital environment for learning, and to prevent misuse of the device.
- DMA will be installed after the collection of the device. Students will be guided on the installation.
- The installation of DMA applies to both devices purchased through the school and any student-owned devices that parents/guardians opt for the student to use in lieu of the school-prescribed PLD.
- The DMA will be funded by MOE and will be uninstalled from the device when your child/ward graduates/leaves the school.

Schools will determine DMA settings for in-school and after-school use:
- MOE and the school will set the level of web content filtering, including filtering out objectionable content or content that may not be conducive to teaching and learning (e.g. social media, pornography, gambling, or websites containing extremist content).
- To enable parents to manage screen time, students will have access to the device from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- The school will determine the apps and programs to be installed to support teaching and learning.
- The PLD is a learning device. The Default Option is the most appropriate choice for parents who do not feel ready to manage their child’s device use and prefer to have the school's assistance.

Data Security
Data Security
- All user data collected through the DMA will be stored in secure servers managed by appointed DMA Vendors with stringent access controls and audit trials implemented.
- The DMA solutions used are cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions and are trusted solutions that have been operating for many years. They have also been subject to regular security review and assessment by independent reviewers.
- DMA solutions have sufficient security robustness to ensure data collected are properly stored and protected. MOE will also subject the DMA Vendors to regular audit on the security of the system based on tender requirements.
- To prevent unauthorised access, DMA Administrators and DMA Vendors will be required to access their accounts using 2-factor authentication or the equivalent to ensure proper accountability for information access and other activities performed. There will be regular account reviews and audits for DMA Administrators’ and DMA Vendors’ accounts.
