The Union Education Ministry has started the process of introducing ‘One Nation, One Student ID’ for school students around the country.
It will be a life-long ID that will track students’ achievements and academic journeys.
This new initiative is named as Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR).
This is an Education Ecosystem Registry or an ‘EduLocker’.
The APAAR being a lifelong ID number will make it easier for students to track their academic journey and achievements.
They will be able to digitally store their exam results, learning outcomes, and co-curricular achievements, such as rankings in Olympiads or receiving specialised skills.
