Closed petition Fund the provision of more ergonomic furniture in schools
The Government should provide additional funding schools in order for the schools to be able to purchase chairs and desks which promote good posture and blood flow in order to allow students to lead and healthy active life and ensure a better and more effective learning experience.
More details
Students should not have to sit on small, ill-fitting, uncomfortable chairs which damage spine health and reduce attentiveness during lessons.
Furniture that supports better posture should mean that students should not experience back pain, and increased blood flow helps increase cognitive performance and prevents cramps.
Backcare Awareness recently announced that 1 in 4 secondary school students in the UK suffers daily back pain. Providing funding for new furniture could help tackle this.
