Lahore: The School Education Department has started working on issuing unique IDs for 15 million students studying in government schools and creating a unified data system.
Through this system, tracking of students will be possible, while basic information including their pass or fail, class, age, health and city of residence will be available with a single click.
According to officials, the unique ID of the students will remain intact even in case of changing schools, which will preserve the educational records.
The Secretary School Education says that this unified system is being introduced to make the administrative system and educational standards more effective.
According to the department, in the first phase, a unique ID will be created for students of government schools, while later a unique ID will be mandatory for students of private educational institutions as well.
Mudassar Riaz further said that the implementation of this project will be done after the approval of the Chief Minister of Punjab.
