The government has set a policy to drive the country towards a Thailand 4.0, following the 20-year national strategy and the digital development plan for the economy and society to develop digital literacy capabilities. Therefore, digital literacy assessments for government officials and government personnel were established. From the current situation, the spread of COVID-19 has affected lifestyle changes. Working in the New Normal involves more applications of digital technology. The key mechanism for using digital technology for such operations is having knowledgeable personnel and using digital platforms for work.
