The state government has asked all schools to take consent from parents of students to create a new identity card for students – Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR)– under the new ‘One Nation, One Student’ scheme launched by the Union government.
This ID, which will be unique to each student, will track the educational progress, achievements and other particulars about specific student.
The school education department has issued a letter addressed to the Commissioner of Education, which also referred to a letter by the Union Ministry of Education dated October 11 and addressed to all chief secretaries regarding creation of APAAR ID for students.
