The Swedish government is considering a total ban on mobile phones in schools, aiming to enhance focus and safety.

However, experiences from Trelleborg's schools reveal mixed results.

A previous attempt at a mobile-free school day led to increased administrative burdens and conflicts between students and teachers, without the expected improvements in study conditions.

While some argue that phones distract students, others, like researcher Anita Grigic Magnusson, suggest that a ban might not always lead to better focus and could even cause more disruptions.

The debate continues as the government plans to investigate further, balancing the potential benefits of a ban with the practical challenges of enforcement.
