Edu dept pushes for APAAR amid parental concerns

To expedite the process, the department designated two 'Mega APAAR Days' (December 9 and 10) to focus exclusively on the registration drive. However, the initiative is facing resistance from parents and logistical challenges in schools.

APAAR, a central government initiative, is a specialized identification system that aims to simplify academic tracking and document management in a student's academic journey. Part of the central government's 'One Nation, One Student' initiative, it has ambitious goals but its implementation has raised logistical and ethical concerns.

One of the major hurdles in the registration process is convincing parents to give consent. Parents are hesitant, citing concerns about the security of their children's personal data. APAAR requires details such as the student's name, address, age, date of birth, gender and photograph, which will be shared with educational institutions and recruitment agencies.
