NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The use of smartphones in schools has been a topic of debate among educators and policymakers, with some arguing that they can be a distraction and hinder students' ability to focus. However, others have raised concerns that banning smartphones outright may not be an effective solution, particularly when it comes to addressing online safety and wellbeing. The issue is complex, as schools must balance the need to minimize distractions with the need to educate students about responsible technology use and provide them with support when they encounter online harms.
