Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
A Swedish study found that there was no impact from bans, and PISA data on students in schools that ban mobile phones regularly showed that it has no effect at all. Recently in the UK, an NIHR-funded study found no difference in mental health, sleep or exercise between students at schools with and without bans. We have to be careful when we weigh up the pros and cons of this matter.
