siliconindia | | November 20184Schools have become smart; thanks to the smart technologies that is making education more interesting. But the challenge still prevails in the education system and there still exists a huge gap that needs to be filled. Though schools have adapted smart education, they yet have to adopt ergonomics furniture that will provide the students with the posture support they need to sit for long periods of time in the classroom. As students spend a considerable time of their school days sitting at their desk, they are more susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders, while gradually suffering from bone disorders and even injury due to poor posture caused by uncomfortable furniture. While this concern is picking-up pace among the schools, they are also concerned about the cost of installing such furniture. On the other hand, most of the schools deal with age-old laboratories to impart practical training to their students. It is essential for schools to establish laboratories that are conducive to helping students maintain sound physical health, while imparting the most cutting-edge equipment for hands-on practical classes. When we look at India, most of the schools still have the wooden benches and old laboratory equipment for their students to work on. This is creating a huge knowledge gap, while impacting their health adversely. But in the recent times, the market for ergonomic furniture, both for classroom and laboratories, is picking-up fast. This will eventually boost the school essentials/supplies market. While we have a long way to go, looking at the cost of the installing, the manufacturers of school essentials/supplies are working on reducing the cost to make the products more approachable.
