Classroom mobile phone use banned
中小學生禁帶手機入校
All primary and secondary school students in China will, in principle, be barred from bringing mobile phones to school, the Ministry of Education announced on Monday. The notice aims to protect students' eyesight, make sure they focus on their studies and prevent them from becoming addicted to the internet and online games.
為保護學生視力,讓學生在學校專心學習,防止沉迷網絡和游戲,教育部2月1日印發通知,要求中小學生原則上不得將個人手機帶入校園。
If students must have a mobile phone at school, a special request should be submitted to school authorities along with written consent from their guardians, said the ministry.
確有需求的,須經家長同意、書面提出申請。
Once the request is approved, students should hand in their mobile phones to school authorities upon arrival. The phones will be kept together and should by no means be allowed into classrooms.
經學校同意后,學生進校后應將手機由學校統一保管,禁止帶入課堂。
Schools should not assign or ask students to do homework via cellphones, and they should set up public phones and teacher hotlines for communication between parents and students, it added.
老師不得使用手機布置作業或要求學生利用手機完成作業。學校應通過設立校內公共電話、班主任溝通熱線等途徑,解決學生與家長通話需求。
Schools should set out rules for the management of cellphones and designate people to take custody of mobile phones brought to schools, it said.
通知要求,學校應制定手機管理具體辦法,明確統一保管的責任人。
