Schoolbag weight in schoolchildren is a recurrent and contentious issue within the educational and health sphere. Excessive schoolbag weight can lead to back pain in children, which increases the risk of chronic back pain in adulthood. There is limited research regarding this among the Maltese paediatric population. A cross-sectional study was undertaken across all schools in Malta among students aged 8–13 years (inclusive). Data were collected using a questionnaire detailing schoolbag characteristics, self-reported pain and demographic variables, such as age and gender. Structured interviews with participants were also carried out by physiotherapists. A total of 4005 participants were included in the study, with 20% of the total Malta schoolchildren population. Over 70% of the subjects had a schoolbag that exceeded the recommended 10% bag weight to body ratio. A total of 32% of the sample complained of back pain, with 74% of these defining it as low in intensity on the face pain scale–revised. The presence of back pain was statistically related to gender, body mass index (BMI), school and bag weight to body weight ratio. After adjusting for other factors, self-reported back pain in schoolchildren is independently linked to carrying heavy schoolbags. This link should be addressed to decrease the occurrence of back pain in this age group.

Nowdays cars lined up outside school to pick up and drop off school children. They dont even have to walk far with it.

Kids now have more books from an earlier age, and this is the state of education/progress.
The timetabling is an excellent initiative to reduce this everyday load.

Agreed-
There are too many books that are hardly used is at all as well. But kids tote them back and forth for the year.
Why isnt there a serious push towards ebooks and smart classes?

did you ever consider that some men actually love their kids so much they see nothing wrong lifting them or carrying them no matter how big they might be? or that possibly said child told his father he was not feeling too well, so for the sake of speed and the child's comfort daddy opted to carry him?
that kinda thing ain't for everybody, but it isn't an absolute no-no either.
