Wellington: The government of New Zealand has imposed a ban on the use of mobile phones in schools.
New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, expressed concerns about the decline in the educational standard in schools. He mentioned that until recently, New Zealand schools were considered among the best globally, but a decline in the educational standard has been observed.
“We are going to ban phones across New Zealand in schools,” Luxon said.
The Prime Minister of New Zealand stated that the ban on the use of mobile phones in schools will improve students’ behavior and help them focus more on their studies. This ban is part of his 100-day plan.
He further clarified that they are implementing a ban on mobile phones in schools across the entire country. The goal is to ensure that students can learn effectively, and teachers can concentrate on teaching.
It is worth noting that experts had warned in 2022 about an educational crisis, indicating that over a third of children aged 15 or older struggle with reading or writing skills.
