In educational circles, the weight of school bags has been a subject of debate for several years. Notebooks, textbooks, lunch boxes, and more – after a while things start to add up, causing many adolescents worldwide to suffer from several problems due to carrying overly heavy school bags.
At least in India, parents have to helplessly watch their kids carrying heavy school bags on their shoulders. This is a common sight of young children climbing up the stairs, weighed down by a heavy backpack, in schools. Heavy School Bags have an adverse effect on children’s spinal posture, foot shape, and walking pattern has been noted. Students from different age groups have different levels of physical strength, and young children can’t carry the same load as older ones.
Child counselors, psychologists, and educationists have often highlighted that heavy bags have negative consequences for the health and well-being of students. The NCERT (National Council of Education Research and Training), through several surveys and studies, found that carrying heavy bags was bad for students’ health and resulted in stunted growth, especially for those in pre-primary and primary classes.
