Guidance on banning the use of mobile phones by primary and secondary school students

British education circles welcome this, believing that this policy will enhance students' learning efficiency and improve students' performance in school.

According to the guidance, schools can ban students from using mobile phones at any time and place in school.

Reports indicate that schools can choose one of the following 4 methods to disable mobile phones:

1. It is prohibited to bring mobile phones to school;
2. Hand the mobile phone to the teacher after arriving at school;
3. Lock the mobile phone in a designated place after arriving at school;
4. Students can keep their mobile phones by themselves, but they must ensure not to use them at any time.

Guidance states that teachers should also not use mobile phones in front of students unless required for work.

According to the "United Nations" official account, in August last year, UNESCO released the 2023 "Global Education Monitoring Report", calling on countries to properly regulate the use of technology in education to ensure that technology will never replace teachers-led education face-to-face teaching.

The report also expressed concern about the excessive use of smartphones and called on primary and secondary schools around the world to ban the use of smartphones.
