Effective implementation requires assessing current setups, educating staff and students about proper posture, and creating environments that accommodate natural movement. Prioritizing ergonomics in educational settings supports student focus and physical development while reducing discomfort and potential long-term health issues. Successful ergonomic improvements typically combine physical workspace adjustments with awareness programs that encourage regular movement and proper body positioning.
