Government's
insistence on Aadhaar card for portal registration plays havoc with students
Extract from the article:
The government's insistence on Aadhaar card for portal registration is causing issues for students.
Teachers are facing challenges in registering students without a birth certificate.
This policy change is adversely affecting students who are unable to obtain an Aadhaar card.
The Supreme Court has ruled out using a birth certificate for student
registration.
My
Take:
APAAR
ID Card - Organized Academic Experience .. 2 January
2024
"Reflecting on the relevance of the
APAAR ID card system to the current situation highlighted in the article, it is
evident that having a unique APAAR ID could simplify student registrations and
academic tracking processes.
This lifeline ID can streamline educational
transitions and offer a seamless experience for students across different
educational institutions."
APAAR
ID and Academic Accessibility .. 24
December 2023
"In light of the challenges faced by
students without birth certificates for Aadhaar registration, the APAAR ID card
stands out as a solution for maintaining accessible academic records.
By linking the One Nation One Student ID
Card to the Aadhaar number, students can ensure their academic achievements are
well-documented and easily transferable."

Extract
:
SARSEL (Single Academic
Registration System of Education and Learning)
1. Unified Student Identity:
·
USID
(Unique Student Identification Number):
·
·
Each student is assigned a unique ID at
birth, which will be used across all
·
·
educational institutions and for
accessing any academic or educational
·
·
services. This ID will be linked to
Aadhaar for identity verification and will
·
·
stay with the student throughout their
life, ensuring seamless tracking of
·
·
academic records.
·
2. Centralized Credit System:
·
Credit
Accumulation and Transfer System: Implement
a national-level
·
·
credit framework allowing students to
accumulate credits from various
·
·
educational institutions, both online and
offline. The system should be
·
·
flexible, enabling students to transfer credits
across institutions, states, and
·
·
different educational boards.
·
·
Integration
with Digilocker:
·
·
Credit scores, along with all other
academic records, will be stored in the
·
·
student's Digilocker account, accessible
through SARSEL.
3. Attendance and Performance
Monitoring:
·
Daily
Attendance Reporting:
·
·
Implement a system for daily attendance
tracking in all 1.5 million schools.
·
·
Schools will upload attendance data
daily, which can be accessed by both
·
·
parents and educational authorities.
·
Performance
Dashboard:
·
·
A personalized dashboard for each
student, accessible via SARSEL, that
·
·
displays attendance, credit scores, exam
results, and other relevant
·
·
academic information.
·
4. Centralized Examination and
Admission Management:
·
Exam
Portals Integration:
·
·
SARSEL will unify existing exam portals
(NEET, JEE, UGCUET, PGUET, etc.),
·
·
allowing students to register, track exam
schedules, and view results through
·
·
a single platform.
·
Admission
Process:
·
·
SARSEL can streamline the admission
process, where students apply to
·
·
multiple institutions using their USID,
and their entire academic history is
·
·
automatically available to the
institution.
5. Scholarship and Reservation
Management:
·
Unified
Scholarship Portal:
·
·
A centralized portal within SARSEL where
students can apply for various
·
·
scholarships based on eligibility
criteria (income, caste, merit, etc.). The
·
·
system will auto-check eligibility based
on the data linked to the student's
·
·
USID.
·
·
Reservation
Management:
·
·
Incorporate features that automatically
apply reservation benefits based on
·
·
the student's caste, income, or other
criteria during admissions, exams, or
·
·
scholarship applications.
·
6. Data Security and Privacy:
·
End-to-End
Encryption:
·
·
All data within SARSEL should be
encrypted, ensuring the privacy and
·
·
security of student information.
·
·
Access
Control:
·
·
Only authorized personnel, students, and
their guardians should have access
·
·
to sensitive data, with different levels
of access rights.
7. Collaboration and Feedback:
·
Educator
and Institution Interface:
·
·
Teachers, institutions, and educationists
can upload materials, manage
·
·
academic programs, and interact with
students through SARSEL.
·
·
Feedback
Mechanism:
·
·
Implement a feedback system where
students, parents, and educators can
·
·
provide input on the platform's
functionality, ensuring continuous
·
·
improvement.
·
Implementation Phases:
Phase 1:
Develop and launch the USID system,
linking it to existing databases like Aadhaar
and Digilocker.
Phase 2:
Integrate the credit system and
performance monitoring dashboard, piloting in
select states before nationwide
rollout.
Phase 3:
Unify examination portals and
introduce the centralized admission system.
Phase 4:
Implement the scholarship and
reservation management system.
Phase 5:
Launch SARSEL fully, ensuring all
educational institutions are on board and
students can access the complete
range of services.
Conclusion:
SARSEL would act as a "One Stop
Shop" for all academic needs, providing
seamless interaction between
students, educational institutions, and
administrative authorities.
It would simplify processes, ensure
transparency, and enhance the overall quality
of education in India.
Call to Action:
To the Government and Educational
Authorities: Address the challenges faced by students without birth
certificates for Aadhaar registration.
Consider alternative identification
mechanisms like APAAR ID cards to streamline the student registration process
and ensure educational accessibility for all.
