The Karnataka Government on May 2019, issued an order directing all schools in the State, including government aided and unaided institutions, to ensure that the weight of a school bag is not more than what percentage of the child's weight ?

  • A.Five percent of child's weight
  • B.Eight percent of child's weight
  • C.Ten percent of child's weight
  • D.Fifteen percent of child's weight

Answer: C

The limit is ten percent of the child's weight.

The Karnataka government's order of May 2019 directed that a school bag should not weigh more than 10% of the child's body weight. This follows the widely used guideline that heavy bags carried daily strain children's backs and posture, and it applies to government, aided and unaided schools alike.

Five and eight percent are stricter than the order, and fifteen percent is more lenient than the guideline it adopts.
