“Using phones in general is a real problem. Since quite a few children use phones not for development, but for games and “time killing”. As for schools, certain restrictions, in my opinion, are necessary. In the same way that we come to the theater and we are asked to put the phones in silent mode or turn them off. In the same way, if the lesson does not intend to use a mobile phone for educational purposes, then it should be turned off or put into silent mode, ”he said.
At the same time, the deputy noted that during breaks, children have the right to turn on mobile phones.
“If only because many parents want to have constant contact with their children. Therefore, the issue is not the limitations, but to the extent of these restrictions and their expediency, ”concluded Smolin.
Earlier, the working group, which included the Ministry of Education, Rospotrebnadzor and Rosobrnadzor, recommended that the regions consider limiting the use of mobile phones in schools.
