Czech Schools Crack Down on Mobile Phones to Boost Student Focus and Performance
Published on 4.4.25
The use of mobile phones in educational settings has become a contentious issue in the Czech Republic, with schools grappling with how to balance technology integration with traditional teaching methods. Some educators are taking a more restrictive approach, implementing policies to limit or ban mobile phones in classrooms.
At a local school, teachers reported improved student focus and increased social interaction among pupils after introducing restrictions on mobile devices. This trend is echoed by schools that have banned mobile phones altogether, citing disruptions and decreased engagement as major concerns. For instance, some schools have seen significant improvements in academic performance since implementing phone-free policies.
