There were many debates and amendments about the syllabus and exams for kids in school but there has not been much about school hours for kids below 5th standard so far, which needs the focus at this moment.
Minister KTR too agrees on children need their childhood and shares a picture of a kid with her breakfast half eaten roti in his pocket and half-asleep while standing during the morning anthem at school. This heart breaking picture clearly shows how today’s child’s ‘running to school’ has become all his childhood and has to forcibly ignore food and sleep.
“I agree completely. That’s a picture that just breaks your heart. Children need a childhood & not this sort of a pressure cooker environment” KTR Tweeted.
While many are suggesting on bringing the change in school timings to 10am to 5pm, also there are tweets from people who blame parents for their kids’ incomplete sleep.
