Petition Action

Make schools allow their students to use their phones in school.

Petition Details

Schools should be embracing modern technology and allowing their students on their mobile phones at break times and lunch times. If students were allowed on their phones during lessons they could educate themselves about topics they are learning about at school.

Additional Information

This would also allow new ways of interaction between students and teachers. Teachers would gain many other opportunities to support their students.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Mobile phone policy in schools is the responsibility of individual schools. You could raise this with the school's governing body.
