While online schooling has become the new normal, a study and webinar conducted by Godrej Interio’s Workplace and Ergonomics Research Cell have revealed the importance of posture and health while continuing with studies. The study reveals that 22 per cent of students attended online classes seated on a bed, 14 per cent sat on the floor and 41 per cent of them complained of strain on eyes. The findings have further raised questions on whether children have really adapted to the new way of learning.

The study titled — Taking Care of Children as they Learn from Home — included questions for 350 school children in the age group of 3-15 years and their parents from across the country. A webinar conducted with educationists and health experts discussed the importance of posture and other aspects of online learning. While the webinar had over 1,700 attendees, a simple guide to ensure healthy posture during online classes was also released for parents.
