Read the advisory on mobile phones being banned in New Delhi private, government schools

The Directorate of Education (DoE) has issued a new advisory banning the use of smartphones in Delhi schools. The advisory will apply to both private and government schools of Delhi. Along with this, the Directorate has also asked the teachers and other school staff to refrain from using mobile phones in classrooms, libraries, school labs and playgrounds.

“Hence, the use of Mobile Phones definitely needs to be regulated in school premises and therefore all stakeholders connected with school education such as students, parents, teachers and the heads of schools need to arrive at a consensus on the minimum use of mobile phones in their school so that a more meaningful learning atmosphere can be maintained in the classroom,” mentions the advisory issued by DoE.
