Recommendation 5
5
Paragraph: 42
Informal monitoring of school mobile phone ban prevents proper assessment and measurement.
Recommendation
Initially introducing the ban on a non-statutory basis is the right approach, but the success of the ban will depend on its implementation and how widely it is taken up. We do not agree with the Government’s approach of informally monitoring the mobile phone ban. Without a formal monitoring mechanism, the implementation and effects of the ban cannot be measured and it will be impossible to judge whether a statutory ban is necessary.
