The AICTE chairman, T G Sitharaman said, “APAAR and National Credit Framework will be the QR code for learners across India. Every skill they pick up will be credited here.”
In order to discuss the importance of creating the APAAR ID, the state school education department has asked educational institutions to organize a meeting of parents and teachers between October 16 and 18.
Besides this, the government has also asked teachers to update the blood group, height and weight of students in UDISE data.
