Delhi’s Directorate of education (DoE) has issued a ban on the use of mobile phones within school premises, extending the restriction to both students and teachers. The decision, aimed at fostering a more focused and conducive learning environment, prohibits the use of phones during school hours to minimize distractions. The directive comes in response to growing concerns about the adverse effects of mobile phones on academic performance and social behavior, with students often distracted by social media and games. For teachers, the ban is intended to ensure that they remain fully engaged in delivering lessons and maintaining classroom discipline.

This move aligns with broader efforts across the country to curtail the impact of excessive screen time on students’ academic development and mental well-being. Schools are encouraged to set up secure areas where teachers can store their phones, ensuring that urgent communication can still be facilitated without disrupting the classroom. By restricting phone use, the delhi government hopes to restore a focus on learning and interaction among students and teachers, creating a more attentive and disciplined school environment.
This is indeed a good decision as even teachers are doing instagram Reels during working hours and are spoiling the Children.
