PANJIM: The Directorate of Education has made it mandatory to quote the APAAR ID for all inter-school transfers and student migration, effective immediately.
In a circular issued on Thursday, Director of Education Shailesh Sinai Zingde stated “With the aim of utilising the APAAR ID as the primary identifier of the student, it is mandatory to quote the APAAR ID in inter-school transfers and migration here onwards.”
Zingde further emphasised that the APAAR ID is also essential to access government benefits such as free textbooks, mid-day meals, and other welfare schemes. He urged the heads of all educational institutions to expedite the process of generating APAAR IDs for their students.
The APAAR ID, introduced under the ‘One Nation, One Student ID’ initiative, is designed to provide a unified and accessible academic experience for students across the country. It tracks students’ academic progress and achievements while also facilitating seamless transfers between schools. The system simplifies the admission process and allows students to access and manage their academic records digitally. Additionally, it enables the smooth transfer of credits when a student moves to a different school anywhere in India.
