WHY do we need to tackle this issue?

Having a locker in a school or institution offers a surprising range of benefits for both students and faculty that are practical in nature. These includes:

Security

• The single most important thing that lockers provide for students and faculty is security.

• The added security of school lockers is not only beneficial to students, either, as the presence of a personal locker gives parents peace of mind that their children’s costly belongings are secure throughout the day.

It is no secret that lugging heavy textbooks and laptops around can take its toll on your health! This can lead to serious issues with neck and back pain as well as bad posture

Solutions

1. The table which are anonymously locked can be opened up so that students can use the given facility.

2. The table can be repaired with new locking system.

3. Individual locker space can be provided within the studios so that students can keep their belongings safely.

4. The lockers can be of an adequate size and depth. A detailed drawing of suck can help us out in proceeding with the same.

Personalization

Schools will still need to have some basic guidelines concerning locker use (e.g. no graffiti or contraband). Despite this, giving students the freedom to decorate their lockers with photos, posters, stickers and so on can positively affect their well-being. This is particularly true in the case of students who might be struggling socially.

Privacy

• Privacy is important. Whether you are a student, teacher, parent or professor, privacy is something we all see as valuable

• The concept of privacy creates boundaries that teach students about a mutual respect.

• It defines value in their belongings, thoughts and ideas, and builds trust by giving them access to a space that’s theirs and theirs alone.

• A locker plays an essential role in guaranteeing privacy by creating a place in schools where students can house their personal belongings.

• A locker provides a place where students can learn essential life lessons like trust, respect, and independence – and can help them out physically and creatively, too

5. Students lose their stationary and other submissions via commuting and that can be looked upon with the help of the presence of lockers.

6. The lockers can be allotted to the students for some specific period of time for example during midterms and final examinations when everyone stays in campus for the whole night working. It will be easier for them to work freely
