London. In view of the declining level of concentration and education of children, the Government of England has taken a revolutionary step. Now a ‘full time’ ban has been imposed on the use of mobile phones by students in all schools of England. This rule is so strict that students will not be able to touch the phone not only during class, but also during break time, lunch and class change. The government believes that a mobile-free environment will reduce children’s distractions and they will be able to learn better without any ‘digital interruption’.
Ban on phones even for calculators: Government’s strict stance
According to the new guidelines issued by the Education Department of England, this restriction is not limited to social media or chatting only. Students now study, research or calculator Will not be able to use mobile as well. Schools have been instructed to provide alternative means to the students if needed, so that their studies are not affected. The government’s message is clear—schools are only a place for learning, not for screen time.
Teachers will also have to stay away from mobile phones
The rules apply not only to students, but also to teachers. The government has issued special instructions for teachers not to use mobile phones in front of children. If teachers themselves are found using phones, it will have a negative impact on children. The school monitoring agencies (Ofsted) will now also see whether the rules are being strictly followed on the school premises or not.
Crackdown on social media will also be tightened
Along with the mobile ban, the government is also serious about children’s online safety and social media addiction. A government survey has revealed that despite strict rules, students were secretly using phones in class, which was affecting their mental health and concentration. This is the reason why now uniform rules have been implemented for all the students from primary to senior class.
Coordination between parents and school is necessary
The Education Minister has also appealed to the parents for cooperation to implement this decision. Parents have been asked to explain the importance of these rules to their children at home. Without mobile phones, children in school will be able to talk to each other more and participate in activities like sports, which will also improve their social development.
