Cell phones|In Helsinki, school rules will be changed if necessary so that the use of mobile devices can be banned more clearly than at present.
in Helsinki measures will be taken to restrict cell phones in schools.
The matter was discussed in the Board of Education on Tuesday. The board unanimously decided to accept the greens Mari Holopainen and 11 other authorized proposals.
According to the proposal, Helsinki must take active measures in all schools, with the help of which the use of cell phones during school hours and especially during lessons can be more clearly addressed.
The goal is that the school rules could, if necessary, more clearly prohibit the use of mobile devices and collect the devices especially during lessons. Thus has been done for example, at the Olari school in Espoo.
The board also supports experiments that can be used to determine the effects of reducing mobile devices on learners’ well-being and learning.
In addition, the board considers that Helsinki should do its part to try to influence the legislation and the current instructions of the Board of Education in relation to the matter.
Several politicians have proposed banning cell phones in schools in Helsinki. The city council made three different initiatives on the subject, all of which aimed to limit the use of mobile devices in everyday school life.
HS said on Mondaythat the office holders of the City of Helsinki have had a negative attitude towards the complete ban on mobile devices.
The Regional Administrative Agency has outlined that recommendations can be made in the school’s rules of order and a student’s phone can be removed during class due to disruptive behavior, but the school cannot impose a complete ban.
