Recently, the Ministry of Digital Policy announced new features in the "Mriya" educational application, affirming that the data security of teachers, students, and their families remains a top priority.
The ministry assured that no third party has access to personal information, as stated in a comment for "UP. Life".
Previously, some social media users expressed concerns about data security, particularly regarding Cabinet Resolution No. 177, which regulates the app's operations. The document indicates the potential "involvement" of economic entities and information systems.
The Ministry explains that this refers to the partners of "Mriya" who work within defined limits, as well as educational systems that can be technically integrated into the application.
These partners:
- provide content for the library;
- participate in a rewards program that offers students incentives such as movie tickets, workshops, and online courses.
However, the Ministry emphasized that partners do not have access to personal data or the administrative part of the system.
"Economic entities do not gain access to the application or its data. The resolution only allows for their technical integration, for example, to display bonus information," the ministry explained.
The app developers noted that all partners undergo thorough verification before joining the educational application, and their integration occurs solely through official procedures, complying with information security standards.
"No third party has access to the personal data of teachers, students, or their parents," the ministry clarified.
It was also noted that authorization through BankID or "Dii" does not pose a risk of data leakage, as this information is neither stored nor transmitted when logging into the application.
"All components of the "Mriya" ecosystem are developed in accordance with current legislation and with respect for user data protection principles," the ministry concluded.
As a reminder, testing of the application in 40 schools is set to begin in 2024. The beta version of "Mriya" will be available in September of that year.
In the application, students receive ID cards, the ability to complete assignments, view educational content, and plan their day.
Thanks to the application, educators can create electronic lesson plans, maintain journals, grade students, and track attendance.
Additionally, the platform offers features for parents to monitor their children's academic performance, homework, and schedules.
