Mobiles set to be banned in schools
October 09, 2009
CHILDREN under 15 could soon be banned from bringing a mobile phone to
school under new rules being examined in parliament this week.
The Senate has voted in favour of the regulations, which would prohibit the
use of mobiles in infant, junior and secondary schools écoles maternelles,
él
mentaires and collèges. Lycée pupils would not be affected.
Senators have also agreed to a ban on mobile phone advertising targeted at
children under 14.
The proposals will now be examined by the National Assembly, which has
previously considered an advertising age limit of 12.
The proposed ban in schools comes after a survey by TNS Sofres found that
half of all 12 to 17-year-olds use their mobile phone in lessons.
They send texts, play games and 7% of teens admitted that they had
secretly filmed a teacher in mid-lesson.
About half of the 500 schoolchildren questioned said they had been caught at
least once when their mobile phone started to ring in class.
A ban on mobiles is likely to anger some parents. Child protection charity
Action Innocence said it was against the ban because it would make it more
difficult for children to get help if they were in danger on the way to or
from school.
