MUMBAI: The Mumbai Association of Heads of Secondary Schools has objected to some recommendations made by the school education department in its April 10 report. Principals have said Aadhaar card numbers should not be sought during school admissions as it is against the Supreme Court ruling that it is not mandatory.
In an effort to curb the bogus number of students in schools across the state, the report had suggested that every student seeking admission should register their Aadhaar card numbers.
"It is the responsibility of the parents to make Aadhaar cards for their children. Schools need not be involved there," said Prashant Redij, vice-president, of the association.
