Actions to reduce weight of school bags
The Education Department calls for actions to reduce the weight of school
A principal curriculum planning officer, Ms Cheng Chee-hing, said: "The department is very concerned about over-weight school bags, in particular their possible harmful effects on the formation of spines on primary and junior secondary students.
"The department considers it important that measures are taken to tackle the problem, and wishes to obtain support and co-operation from schools."
A set of recently-issued updated guidelines suggested students should be encouraged to develop the habit of packing school bags every day and discouraged from bringing toys, magazines and unnecessary items to schools, Ms Cheng said.
"Schools should advise students on the types of school bags as well as the correct posture in carrying them," she said.
