Impact of Mobile Addiction on Students’ Health: Kadhir Gani Chowdhury
The impact of mobile addiction on students’ health has become a growing concern in today’s digital age. Kadhir Gani Chowdhury, the Secretary-General of the Bangladesh Federal Journalist Union, highlights the detrimental effects of excessive smartphone gaming on both physical and mental well-being.
Emphasizing the Importance of Physical Activity
Chowdhury stresses the importance of physical activity not only for children but also for adults. He encourages families to allocate 30 minutes daily for sports and games to promote a healthy lifestyle and strengthen familial bonds. By engaging in physical activities together, families can enhance their relationships and enjoy quality time.
The Decline of Sports in Educational Institutions
Chowdhury laments the gradual decline of sports fields in educational institutions across the country. He notes a decrease in interest among students and parents, leading to a lack of physical and mental development. Despite the focus on academic excellence, sports play a crucial role in fostering creativity, imagination, and overall growth in children.
Challenges Faced by Educational Institutions
Educational institutions in Bangladesh face challenges in promoting physical education and sports due to the increasing popularity of mobile phones among students. Instead of engaging in physical activities, students are more inclined to spend time on screens, which negatively impacts their health and overall well-being.
Importance of Balancing Education and Physical Activities
Chowdhury calls for a balance between academic studies and physical activities in schools and colleges. He emphasizes the need for trained physical education teachers to prioritize sports and physical education to ensure the holistic development of students. By integrating physical education into the curriculum, students can enhance their creativity, intelligence, and physical and mental well-being.
As we reflect on the evolving landscape of education and the growing challenges posed by mobile addiction, it is essential to prioritize physical activities to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for our youth.
