School Name: Kowloon Tong School (Secondary Section)
Team Members: Flowers Ho, Jinting Wei, Ka Yi Wong, Ka Yu Cheung, Xiaotong Lin, Yanwen Huang, Yongxin Li
Theme: Promote Health and Wellness
Project Name: Teacher’s physical and mental problems
Target Group: Teachers
Problem Statement: Teachers’ long working hours and lack of rest time make their health worse, and it is difficult for them to cope with the daily work of the school physically and mentally. Teachers are generally troubled by many health problems, including sore throat, vocal cord inflammation, leg discomfort caused by standing for a long time, muscle tension and backache. A survey conducted by the Hong Kong Federation of Education found that nearly 90% admitted that teachers in schools often attend classes with illness, and their negative emotions also reached a 10-year high. Since the physical and mental health of teachers will affect their teaching quality and work efficiency, more attention should be paid to teachers’ health.
Solution: We launch corresponding mobile phone programs to improve and promote the physical and mental health of teachers who are easily overlooked. The program includes (1) recording the teacher’s sleep status and providing rest suggestions (2) Providing sports advice.
