The new policy will ensure that students will no longer need to carry heavy school bags filled with textbooks and supplies. Instead, they will be provided with storage cabinets in their classrooms where they can keep their materials. This initiative aims to create a more comfortable and healthy learning environment for young students.

Education experts and parents have long voiced concerns about the physical strain heavy school bags place on children, potentially leading to long-term health issues. In response, the government is making comprehensive arrangements to accommodate this significant change in primary schools.

This is not the first time the government has addressed this issue. The “Lighter Bag Brighter Student” initiative was previously launched and received positive feedback from parents and educators alike. Despite its initial success, the policy was gradually discontinued. However, due to renewed pressure from parents, the Ministry of Education (MoFEPT) has decided to reinstate and improve upon the previous efforts.

Parents have been actively urging the ministry to bring back such policies to promote a healthier and more conducive educational experience for their children. The no-bag policy is seen as a crucial step towards achieving this goal.

As the government works to implement this initiative, it is also exploring additional measures to ensure the overall well-being of students. By reducing the physical burden of carrying heavy bags, the government hopes to enhance students’ focus on their studies and overall development.

The new no-bag policy is set to be a significant milestone in the country’s educational reforms, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of student health and well-being in the learning process.
