Pakistani Children are facing a new dilemma in regards to their educational life. Even the children in the rudimentary class of the nursery are not free from the cumbersome experience of having to deal with this predicament. That being said, the dilemma in question is the one related to the extravagant and excessive loading of the school bags worn by these unfortunate children. The weight itself is appalling and astonishingly dense. It makes one wonder as to how these fragile children can keep upright with this entire burden, not to mention the ordeal and the strain that this load placed on their backs.
The list of books and other such relative accoutrements for a child in any phase of his educational life is long and tedious dense.
If one pays close consideration and attention, then two aspects can be noticed while procuring items for a child’s school. One needs to establish and set up a certain approach to ensure the timely dropping off and picking up of the child from the school. It is a probability that the parent would have to perform the said tasks by his own self. There, he may notice that the weight of the school bag being worn by his child as well as the other children far exceeds their own weight. Many children would be bending backwards to balance and balance this load. This surely makes one ponder the question of this being a monumental penalty or not.
At present, there is no consideration or assessment being spared by any authority on this most inhumane and callous of acts towards children. There is a strong possibility that these overloaded children will suffer from complications and severe deformities of the vertebrae and health, if the problem mentioned herewith is left unchecked.
The children are not yet brawny enough to bear this heavy weight. It should be noted that these young children of mere two and a half to three years of age have to go through about 12 books and copies on a daily basis. Is this justice upon the poor little darlings?
Another fact that directly violates consumer rights is the designation of particular and specific bookshops and uniform outlets by the schools. The books published are priced extravagantly by the publishers, and the customer is not even provided the liberty to purchase these books from the local market. They have to be procured from certain designated outlets and bookstores. This needs to be done frequently as well because many of these books are not made available for purchase upon a single visit to these bookstores.
The notion of Play groups may have been incorporated in order to provide parents with some peace of mind and relief from tension. However, lately these ventures have become notable for imposing unjust expenditures and excessive burden on children.
On a more optimistic and brighter note, these centers give homework to children which inculcates and nurtures a sense of learning, for both the children and the supervising parents, as well.
In conclusion, these are matters that require the utmost minute and highly prioritized attention as soon as possible.
