Only when the mind is free from stress or pressure can it truly be open to new learning, thoughts, and ideas. It is through this openness that learning becomes connected to the real world, transforming into knowledge.

Unfortunately, today's children face a significant challenge that could have long-term negative effects on their health. One of the main culprits is the issue of heavy school bags. Carrying these heavy bags can result in chronic back pain, breathing difficulties, neck and shoulder strain, as well as discomfort in the legs, and will prove disastrous for the child in the long run.

There seems to be a government bill that mandates the weight of school bags not to exceed 10 percent of the child's weight. However, like many regulations, this rule needs to be enforced across the country as soon as possible.

In reality, the school bags of students often weigh much more than the recommended limit of 10% of their body weight. I recently carried a school bag for just 10 minutes and experienced severe shoulder and neck pain as a result. Unfortunately, individual complaints to authorities about this issue often go unheard.

It is crucial that we address this issue on priority for our children's well-being and the future of our country.

I hope this petition will be looked into on a war footing by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Human Resources.
