📢 Hey there, it’s Asia News Wrap! South Korean schools are gearing up to ban mobile phones and other digital devices in classrooms. Let’s break down what’s happening and why it matters:
Why the ban?
Schools say smartphones and tablets often distract students from lessons. By cutting out devices, they hope to boost focus, encourage face-to-face chats, and spark more creative learning.
What’s changing?
Starting next semester, students must hand over their gadgets before the first bell and collect them after classes wrap up. The idea is a mini digital detox to make classrooms tech-free zones.
Mixed reactions
Some students are excited about less screen time and more hangouts IRL. Others worry about missing group chats or study apps that help with revision.
What’s next?
Could other countries in Asia follow suit? This move puts the spotlight on how we balance tech and education. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌏✨
