By using IDs, all information relevant to grades and academic credentials will be stored remotely instead of traditional management as usual. It is to reduce fraudulent issues and enhance the education system’s transparency as academic dishonesty is at an alarming rate.

In the roadmap of this project, IDs will be launched in primary and secondary schools, then will be applied in higher education institutions generally.
