OECD: Mobile Phones Lower School Knowledge

Published: 2024-05-28

A new OECD report reveals that mobile phone use is partially responsible for declining knowledge levels in schools.

Swedish 15-year-olds report being distracted by their own or others' use of digital tools in the classroom.

The new Tidö Agreement proposes banning mobile phones in primary schools entirely, even during breaks.

However, student Wilmer does not support this proposal.
