The government has announced that schools are encouraged to adopt a “phone-free by default” policy. This means that students are expected to refrain from using their phones during school hours, unless there is a specific reason to do so.
This decision aims to minimize distractions in the classroom, promote focus on learning, and potentially reduce issues related to cyberbullying and social media use among students. By implementing this policy, schools hope to create a more conducive environment for academic growth and overall student well-being.
