UK plans to completely ban smartphones in schools

More and more people are using mobile phones, but this is becoming a problem, especially in schools. Experts believe it can interfere with learning and have a harmful effect on children. The UK government has joined the ranks of countries that have decided to set rules to limit phone use during lessons.

Some schools in the UK already ban the use of phones, and this policy could become a common standard for all schools.

Current research shows the negative impact of mobile phones and social media on young people's mental health. Banning phones in schools can create a favourable environment for students to concentrate and promote a more active and social life.

The government recommends that schools develop their own policies, and that parents actively cooperate with schools and discuss with their children the rules for using gadgets and the Internet at home. As for the new rules: there may be a complete ban on phones in schools, or switched-off gadgets will be stored in special lockers or bags.
