Schools in Uttar Pradesh will now be more fun, with 10 "Bagless Days" a year for children; they will learn new things through games and activities.
To ease the burden of children and make learning fun, a program has been introduced in Uttar Pradesh government schools, eliminating the need to carry bags for 10 days a year.
The Uttar Pradesh government has made a decision that has delighted both children and relieved parents. To ease the burden of studies and make learning fun, the state government has now decided to observe 10 "Bagless Days" throughout the year for children in grades 6 to 8 in government schools. During these bagless days, children will neither carry heavy bags nor will classes be solely about books and notebooks. Instead, they will have ample opportunity for games, activities, practical learning, and creative pursuits.
For a long time, children and parents have complained that the weight of school bags impacts both their physical and mental well-being. Children become overwhelmed by the weight of books, and studies become a burden. Addressing this problem, the Uttar Pradesh government has taken a significant step and implemented Bagless Day throughout the academic year.
What does the government believe?
The government believes that children learn more from experiences than just books. Sports, outdoor activities, and outdoor learning boost children's self-confidence. Children better understand their interests and talents through hands-on activities. Studying with fun fosters joy in learning, not fear.
What will happen during Bagless Day?
Bagless Day is not a holiday. Rather, it will be a day when schools will present learning to children in a new light. Many fun and educational activities will be planned for children, including sports and outdoor activities. Children will play a variety of games on the field. Running, team games, small group tasks, and sports activities will promote physical development and teamwork. Speeches, debates, and general knowledge quizzes will be conducted to encourage children to express themselves and sharpen their thinking. This will enhance their speaking skills and confidence.
In addition, children will be taken out of the classroom occasionally for picnics or visits to special places so that they can learn by observing and understanding things. Creative activities like drawing, painting, music, dance, and small theater acts will enhance their imagination. Children will step outside the textbooks and create small projects. This will help them understand things by doing them themselves.
How will children's education change?
The ability to think faster
The habit of problem-solving
The confidence to work in a team
The enthusiasm to learn new things
The relief from stress
These changes will be observed.
