UP Bagless School Days: The UP government has started a bagless school program for 10 days a year for children from 6th to 8th. Under NEP 2020, preparations are being made to provide a stress-free and fun learning environment to children through skill activities, workshops, trips and fun days.
In the morning, children carrying heavy bags on their shoulders and bent under the burden of books will now be seen less in the government schools of Uttar Pradesh. The state government has taken a big step towards changing the learning style of children. Now there will be 10 days in a year when children will come to school, but without bags. No book, no copy, just a new and interesting way of learning. This initiative has been launched under the new education policy NEP 2020, which aims to take children out of the rote learning system and towards experiential and skill-based learning.
