Singapore to ban phone use in schools to raise social interaction


Singapore is planning to release measures to deal with smartphone use in schools in the coming months, amid mounting research showing the relationship between screen time on smartphones and mental health issues in youth, according to the country’s Ministry of Education.

In recent years, schools have stepped up measures to curb the usage of smartphones.

A spokesman of the ministry said that schools here have rules and routines in place to manage students’ use of mobile phones during curriculum hours, which are appropriate for the school level.

These include dedicated mobile phone storage spaces in classes or at the general office where students deposit their phones before the start of lessons.

He added that schools may restrict the use of mobile devices to designated areas or times, like during recess, after school or at the foyer.
