Let's Tighten That Mobile Phone Ban in Schools, Say CSU Youth and Youth Organizations
Strict mobile phone prohibition to be enforced by CSU's youth division in schools. - High School Students at Colorado State University Advocate for Stricter Mobile Phone Restrictions in Educational Institutions
Hey there! Here's some gossip from the world of education policy.
The hip young politicians of the CSU, along with a few youth organizations, are lobbying for a stricter mobile phone ban in Bavarian schools. This call comes three years after a relaxation of the rules. The new education paper, backed by the CSU state parliament faction's youth group, student organization RCDS, and the student union, suggests a complete ban on private mobile phone use during school hours for kids from primary school to middle school. According to the Straubinger Tagblatt/Landshuter Zeitung, this news dropped on Monday.
So, what's the plan Baur?!
Chiemgau state parliamentarian Konrad Baur told the press, "We aim to think outside the box wherever we can improve." The proposal from the CSU youth suggests collecting mobile phones before class and returning them after class.
In 2019, Bavaria relaxed the mobile phone rules in schools. Primary school students are now prohibited from using their phones on school grounds, but the decision for older grades rests with the schools. It's not all about Bavaria though. Other federal states are pondering stricter mobile phone restrictions in schools. The Hessian state government, for instance, is looking at a total ban.
