The document suggests four different scenarios for implementing the ban, including a complete ban, which requires students to leave their devices at home, one that requires them to hand them in to school staff upon arrival. Requires, an option that requires them to keep the phone in secure storage, and a “never used, seen or heard from” option. The latter allows students to keep their devices within easy reach under the condition that they never use them.

“Mobiles run the risk of causing unnecessary distractions, disruptions and distractions… By removing mobiles from the school day, we can create a safer space where students are protected from the risks and dangers associated with social media and cyberbullying, as well as peer pressure.” “There is pressure and potential stigma associated with owning what are often expensive devices,” the document also states.

Students who violate the new rules will face detention or phone confiscation, the guidance said, with teachers authorized to search backpacks for devices as well as the loss of the phone being confiscated or Their legal protection from potential lawsuits related to damages is ensured.
