Punjab Schools Ban Mobile Phones for Students
Punjab has banned mobile phones in all public and private schools. The School Education Department told school heads to enforce the rule right away. Students cannot use phones during school hours. The goal is to keep them focused in class.
Schools must encourage students to join academic activities. Teachers should guide them to spend more time on learning. Mobile phones are distracting, so the ban helps students stay engaged in lessons.
Students should take part in personality-building activities. Schools will organize sessions for teamwork, communication, and other soft skills. Authorities will make sure students join these activities regularly.
This rule comes after a resolution by Raheela Khadim Hussain. The resolution passed with a majority vote. The School Education Department issued a circular to make the ban official.
All schools in Punjab must follow the ban. Authorities will report on compliance regularly. The ban aims to improve focus, learning, and student development across the province.
