The director of colleges and principals have been given instructions regarding this rule.

The Higher Education Department says that this ban is to prevent any disruptions in teaching, as using mobile phones during classes can interfere with learning and affect the educational environment. Under this ban, neither teachers nor students will be allowed to use mobile phones during classes.

The department has made it clear that strict action will be taken against teachers or students who break this rule. The aim of this measure is to improve the quality of education and help students and teachers focus during class, so that their time and effort is not wasted.

The ban has been imposed as mobile phones can distract students during lessons, making it hard for them to focus and learn properly.

Likewise, using phones in class can reduce attention spans, leading to poor performance and understanding of lessons. Excessive use of mobile phones, especially before bed, can affect sleep patterns, leading to tiredness and lack of concentration during the day.

Constant use of social media or mobile games can cause anxiety, stress, or depression among students. Overuse of mobile phones can lead to less face-to-face interaction, affecting social skills and relationships with peers.

If students spend too much time on their phones, it can result in a decline in their academic results.
