Right now, schools can decide for themselves if mobile phones are allowed in class or not. Members of parliament Peters (CDA) and Beertema (PVV) said this week in the debate that they would prefer a ban. They support a motion submitted for a ban. Although Minister Wiersma thinks it is up to schools to develop policy, he finds the current situation confusing. Especially because one teacher encourages phone use in class and another does not.<\/p>\n
The aim is for the ministry of education to help schools answer the question of whether phones are allowed or not. But Wiersma wants to take it a step further. He leaves it to the House of Representatives to decide. The minister promised to talk soon with teachers, students, and parents. But you can already make your voice heard. We make sure your opinion reaches the minister.<\/p>\n
