Schleswig-Holstein: Education Minister Karin Prien for a ban on cell phones in schools. The Netherlands and Great Britain are already trying to ban cell phones from schools.

In Germany, however, schooling is a state matter, so uniform regulations are difficult. The schools can decide for themselves whether cell phones have to be switched off or can be used. The deputy CDU chairwoman has now spoken out in favor of a ban in the state. She also holds legal guardians responsible in the debate.
