Scottish government suggests schools may ban mobile phones in classrooms due to behavior and learning concerns.
The Scottish government has issued new guidance suggesting schools could ban mobile phones in classrooms to address concerns over the impact of devices on pupils' behaviour and learning. The guidance empowers head teachers to decide the steps they feel necessary to limit mobile phone use, including a full ban on school premises if deemed necessary. The Scottish Government does not intend to dictate approaches to head teachers, but will support those who decide to implement a mobile phone ban, and individual schools will determine their own approach to mobile phone use.
