Advisory to Parents and Teachers
14 Oct 2021
In the new era of technology, online gaming is very popular with children because of the challenges it brings to the players which excite them and making them play more which can lead to addiction. Online games can almost be found anywhere on any gaming platform such as PCs, consoles, and mobile devices. Online gaming can be accessed with the use of a phone or a tablet which is a common factor in online game addiction because children can easily play games anywhere anytime affecting their time for their school and social life. Furthermore, the closure of schools due to pandemic has increased the use of mobile and the internet by children.
However, online gaming has many downsides. Playing online games leads to a serious gaming addiction which has been considered a gaming disorder. The game is designed in a way that each level is more complicated and complex than the previous one. This causes a player to push themselves to the limit in order to progress in the game. Therefore, playing online games with no restriction and self-limits leads many players to become addicted and are eventually diagnosed with gaming disorder. The gaming companies also emotionally compel the child to buy more levels and almost force in-app purchases.
In view of the same, a one-pager advisory to parents has been prepared by the Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India. This one-pager advisory is attached herewith.
