Schools Given New Guidance on Stopping Phone Use

In an effort to combat distractions and improve student focus, schools across the country have been given new guidance on restricting the use of mobile phones in the classroom.

The Department of Education has released a set of recommendations for schools to implement policies that limit phone use during instructional time. The guidance emphasizes the importance of creating a conducive learning environment free from distractions.

Schools are encouraged to establish clear rules regarding when and where students can use their phones, such as banning them during class time or requiring them to be turned off and stored in lockers. Some schools have already implemented these policies and have seen positive results in terms of increased student engagement and academic performance.

Parents are also urged to support these initiatives by monitoring their children’s phone usage outside of school and encouraging them to prioritize their studies over screen time.
