School Bags Governance:An Analysis of Key Strategies to Reduce Education Burden in India
In order to liberate the bodies of primary and secondary school students,promote changes in learning philosophy,promote improvement of school facilities,and maintain the authority of the national curriculum,the Indian government vigorously promotes education burden reduction,and its key strategy lies in the governance of school bags. The key issues of school bag governance mainly involve various education departments and institutions at all levels,schools and their own management departments,teachers and parents. The direct measures to govern school bags are to specify the shape of school bags and limit the weight of school bags. The core measures are to streamline the content of textbooks,limit teaching subjects,and reduce the homework burden. The safeguard measures are to improve school infrastructure,reduce extra items of school bags,such as water bottles,and provide digital weighing machine to monitor the weight of school bags. Although school bag governance has received widespread support from teachers and parents,it has fallen into a "partial idling" situation due to insufficient investment in education by the central government and poor accountability of state governments. In addition,it has caused new social controversies about the learning crisis and the burden of school bags.
