HONG KONG,Dec. 9,2024 -- Learning environments significantly impact students' focus and mental well-being. However,limited living space in Hong Kong has exacerbated challenges in providing adequate study areas.

To address this issue,Fortress Hill Methodist Secondary School and Ying Wa College have introduced the "Movable Silence Booth" by Contex and Soundbox.

Silence Booths as a Game-Changer for Schools and Homes

Academic Pressure Takes the Lead: 80% of Parents Concerned

The survey indicates that 80% of parents feel their children are under significant pressure,with 96% attributing this to academic demands. In response to stress,70% of parents express a need for "Me Time," and 67% believe that allowing children to be alone is an effective stress reliever. Notably,44% of parents allow their children to play video games to unwind,while 15% encourage venting emotions through shouting or other expressive means.

Insufficient Focus and Space Challenges

Half of the students surveyed struggle to focus for more than 30 minutes,with primary school students being the most affected. The findings highlight cramped living conditions (68%) and a lack of private space (34%) as primary causes. Although 86% of parents agree that personal space can improve focus,34% of students lack a dedicated study room or bedroom.

Parents are also divided on the idea of external study spaces. Over half (54%) are reluctant to let their children study outside,citing concerns such as their young age (60%),potential distractions from meeting strangers (51%),and greater susceptibility to losing focus in public study rooms (35%).
