Bag weight policy- The weight of children’s school bags is increasing day by day. Children are being crushed under the burden of school bags.
The situation is such that the weight of the bag has become half of the weight of the children. But now this will not happen. Because the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh has taken a big decision to reduce the burden. That is, now the school bag of children will not be heavy.
School bag policy has been implemented in UP and its priority has been given to Kendriya Vidyalayas. According to the new policy, the weight of the bag will be a maximum of 10 percent of the child’s body weight. Under the new education policy, the weight of the bag has been determined according to the class. Along with this, pre-primary children are not required to bring bags.
Know how much the bag of a child of which class will weigh?
Class 1-2: Bag weight 1.6 to 2.2 kg
Class 3-5: Bag weight 1.7 to 2.5 kg
Class 6-7: Bag weight 2 to 3 kg
Class 8: Bag weight 2.5 to 4 kg
Class 9-10: Bag weight 2.5 to 4.5 kg
Class 11-12: Bag weight 3.5 to 5 kg
Hearing on petition against merger of schools
Along with this, a hearing will be held in the Lucknow bench of the High Court on Friday against the merger of primary schools. The order regarding the merger of the state’s council primary schools has been challenged in the High Court. A petition filed by Krishna Kumari and others against this order will be heard.
The petition has challenged the order of the Primary Education Department dated June 16. Arrangements have been made to merge the state’s primary schools into upper primary or composite schools based on the number of children. The petition has said that this decision of the government is going to violate the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act.
The argument given in the petition regarding the deprivation of children from education
Apart from this, it has also been argued that due to merger, the schools of young children will be far away, due to which they may be deprived of their education. Whereas under the Right to Education Act, it is the legal responsibility of the government to provide nearby schools for primary education to children.
