The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education (KPESE) Department has taken a significant step to enhance students’ focus and productivity by implementing a ban on mobile phone usage within public sector schools.
In a recent notification issued on Monday, it was announced that both students and staff are required to surrender their mobile devices to the school authorities upon arrival. This measure aims to minimize distractions and optimize learning time during school hours.
In cases of emergencies, school heads will utilize landline phones to communicate with parents, ensuring a prompt response when necessary. Moreover, mobile phone usage among staff members will be restricted to designated times such as recess or free periods.
Furthermore, strict protocols have been established regarding the capture of photographs or videos within school premises. Prior authorization from relevant school authorities will be mandatory for such activities to maintain privacy and security standards.
This directive has been disseminated to all District Education Officers across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ensure uniform implementation and adherence throughout the region. By prioritizing academic engagement and minimizing disruptions, this initiative aims to foster a more conducive learning environment within public sector schools.
