Make lockers compulsory in school,carrying heavy bag by children can lead to spine problem

The Issue

Growing numbers of children are developing irreversible  back deformities because of the  weight of the bags they carry to school. Half of all children suffer back pain by the age of 14 and doctors are reporting a rise in cases of spinal abnormalities in pupils, including disfiguring curvatures known as scoliosis.

In our country ,there are only few private schools which provides lockers to students.If there are certain things that you know you won’t need at home, leave them in the locker. This includes extra notebooks, textbooks for classes without homework that night, sports supplies 

So government should make it compulsory for public or private schools to provides locker to the children
