The recently discussed permanent daylight saving time bill could potentially have significant consequences for students and their families. While this law may cause the sun to set later in winter, on the other hand, the sun will also rise later in the mornings. This change could mean that students go to school in the dark.
Impact on Students' Commutes
Data shows that with the implementation of permanent daylight saving time, daylight hours in the afternoon will increase, but this means that it will still be dark in the morning at the start of school. This is a serious problem for parents and students, as there are greater risks when commuting in the dark. In many areas, many students already have to prepare for school in the early morning hours, and this change could lead to more concerns about their safety.

Safety Concerns
Some public safety experts have warned that commuting in the dark may lead to an increase in accidents and unfortunate incidents. Additionally, students may face more challenges, including a lack of sufficient light to see their path. These issues could affect their sense of security and mental health. In this regard, it is essential for policymakers and educational authorities to pay attention to these issues and design appropriate protective programs for students.
Ultimately, this change in permanent daylight saving time may also indirectly affect academic schedules and extracurricular activities. For example, sports activities that are usually held in the afternoons may be disrupted due to morning darkness, and this could negatively impact students' health and vitality.
