The British Government is considering a complete ban on mobile phones in all schools in Englandin an effort to address concerns about bullying, sexual harassment, and their negative impact on students’ learning and emotional health.

Despite the Government’s intention, the measure was received with skepticism by teachers and educators.
Teachers argue that its implementation would be problematic and would require police-type measures, such as student searches.In addition, many parents consider it important to maintain communication with their children in case of emergency.
Teachers say it would be a difficult measure to control.
This proposal is part of a series of initiatives presented by the Conservative Government led by Rishi Sunakwhich seeks to differentiate itself from the Labor opposition in the face of the next elections.
In addition to the mobile ban, Measures have been proposed such as establishing an English baccalaureate and making mathematics compulsory until the age of 18.

Despite concerns about behavior in schools, Teachers point to physical and verbal abuse, lack of funding, lack of support for students with mental disorders, and increasing poverty as the most pressing problems.
They consider that the mobile ban does not address these fundamental problems and is a populist measure.
