In a bid to lighten the load for young students, public primary schools in Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) are set to implement a new initiative. This policy aims to relieve students from carrying heavy school bags by installing small racks in classrooms where they can safely store their books. The objective is to create a more comfortable and child-friendly environment that enhances the overall learning experience.
Education Secretary Mohiuddin Ahmad Wani shared that the development of this policy has been underway for a month, with preparations expected to conclude before the schools reopen. He expressed enthusiasm, stating, “This decision will be a great relief for both parents and students, promising a positive impact on young minds.” According to Wani, the policy will officially commence on August 1st, with comprehensive arrangements being made across all public primary schools in the capital.
This initiative comes as a response to concerns over the physical strain and stress imposed by heavy school bags on young learners. By implementing these classroom racks, the authorities aim to reduce the weight of school bags and promote a healthier, more enjoyable educational journey for students in ICT.
Parents and educators alike have welcomed the move, anticipating smoother transitions between classes and improved classroom dynamics. The initiative reflects a commitment to nurturing a supportive learning environment that prioritizes the well-being and comfort of young learners.
