Alicante bans mobile phones in classrooms
The rule will come into force across the Valencian Community on May 6
Following in the footsteps of other regions such as Murcia, the government of the Valencian Community has decided to implement an all-out ban on mobile phones in the classroom.
From Monday May 6, the regional administration will prohibit the use of mobiles in all educational centres in Alicante and the rest of the community, with two notable exceptions: for health or education purposes.
According to the regulations, students will be allowed to carry their devices on their person, but they must be switched off as soon as they enter the building. It will be up to the schools themselves to monitor this, and to decide how they deal with rule breakers.
Back in December, the Region of Murcia implemented a similar law, decreeing that children could not turn on their phones during school hours unless the devices form part of the class lesson.
