More and more often you hear about school bans on using cell phones by students. It turns out that, according to many experts, it is against human law and illegal. 

Prohibition of using telephones in school

Such a ban is an increasingly common phenomenon. Many schools prohibit the use of phones during lessons. Teachers notice a lack of interest in the lesson topic when students have access to a phone. Games, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and many other applications make virtual life more important than school. A survey was conducted at UiT in which over 1000 students participated. It turns out that every fourth the person is prohibited from using phones at school

“Mobile Hotels” 

Due to the ban on using phones at school, many institutions are introducing "mobile hotels". It is nothing more than a place where students' phones are kept while they spend time on school lessons. Devices are returned by students every morning before classes and returned again after classes. Marius Storvik, professor of law at UiT, believes that such behavior by schools in Norway is an interference with students' privacy, which is protected by the constitution.

Have the students agreed to this?

Professor Storvik tells NRK that schools can ban the use of phones during lessons and breaks, and can provide storage of devices in "Mobile Hotels", but only on one condition. The most important thing is that students agree not to use phones. If the facility has not obtained such consent, it cannot impose its own private ban. Unfortunately, students' consent to the ban on using phones is highly questionable. Currently, there is no law in Norway that would allow schools to make such independent decisions.

School regulations and the prohibition of using telephones

Doris Amland, the communication director of Norwegian education and training, informs that the prohibition of using telephones should be included in the school regulations. If any point in this document presents such a ban and the regulations have been accepted, the facility has the right to introduce an internal ban. Doris Amland also advises that such situations be dealt with locally with the attention of students and their parents.
