UNESCO to suggest global ban on smartphone use in classrooms!
In order to
reduce disruption in the classroom and promote better learning results, UNESCO
advocated a global ban on smartphone use in classrooms.
UNESCO’s Aim:
In order to promote a more "human-centered vision" of education, the
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has
called for a ban on the use of cellphones in classrooms.
Motive:
In order to
lessen reliance on digital technology and promote better learning results, the
UNESCO decided to outlaw smartphones in all schools globally.
The overuse
of cellphones or other digital devices in the educational sector is likely to
lower academic achievement, which will have a negative effect on children's
emotional development.
Impacts of
Mobile Use:
Students'
excessive use of technology, including computers, tablets, and cellphones, both
in and out of the classroom, has the potential to disrupt learning and cause
distractions.
A new
UNESCO study found a correlation between excessive usage of digital technology
and poor student achievement.
UNESCO commendations:
According
to UNESCO, governments are doing very little to control a crucial area of
society. The government should
concentrate on the areas that will promote education globally while using the
fewest resources from digital technology, according to UNESCO. The government
ought to put education first before everything else.
The UNESCO report emphasized that not all technological advancements are equivalent to growth and cautioned against implementing digital tools in education hastily. It recommended decision-makers to strike a balance and avoid ignoring the social aspect of education, which benefits from in-person instruction and interaction.
