Noida Schools Directed to Limit Daily Smart Board Screen Time for Students
The Gautam Buddh Nagar administration has directed all schools in Noida and Greater Noida to limit daily screen time on smart and digital boards to 30 minutes for primary and 60 minutes for upper-primary students. This follows complaints about excessive use, sometimes up to four to five hours daily. The guidelines emphasize using smart boards for explaining complex concepts and multimedia, while writing and interactive activities should use traditional boards. Schools must monitor compliance, maintain appropriate screen settings, provide breaks, and conduct regular eye check-ups to safeguard students' health and development.
