properly adjusted furniture, optimized lighting, scheduled movement breaks
and deliberate use of digital devices all exert statistically significant effects on
reducing musculoskeletal complaints, enhancing concentration and lowering
absenteeism. The review follows the PRISMA 2020 protocol and synthesises 46
empirical studies selected from 512 initial records retrieved from Web of Sci-
ence, Scopus and ERIC (2010–2024). Data were examined using combined the-
matic breakdown and synthesis. We report key findings on physical and dig-
ital ergonomics, the integration of ergonomic principles into teaching prac-
tice, and macro-ergonomic aspects of school management. Embedding er-
gonomics within pedagogy emerges as a decisive factor for long-term gains in
learning outcomes and pupils’ well-being, illustrated with best-practice exam-
ples from domestic and international schools. Overall, the evidence supports
the thesis that systematically planned ergonomic measures create a safe and
reliable learning environment capable of improving both student health and
academic performance.
