This article explores the key requirements for designing school backpacks for students attending educational institutions in Uzbekistan. It highlights essential ergonomic, hygienic, aesthetic, safety, and psychological considerations. Furthermore, it examines modern examples of backpack designs based on technological advancements, analyzes international practices, and discusses how they can be adapted to the needs of Uzbek students. In addition, research conducted by the author to determine the proportion between school backpack weight and student body weight in schools has also been highlighted. The article serves as a practical guide for manufacturers, designers, and educators involved in the design of school equipment.
