What would it look like if students could decide for themselves whether to ban cell phones in schools? Such an attempt has now been launched in parliament. The result is surprising!
The smartphone is taking up an increasing part of our lives: on average, Austrians use their digital device 36 times a day. Nearly a third say they use it at least four hours a day. This is evident from a representative study by consultancy firm Deloitte. Even children and young people are affected. In some families, the smartphone becomes the educational center for children. A warning sign considering the madness raining down on kids on TikTok and other platforms.
The Youth Parliament is venturing into hot water
More and more schools are considering banning smartphones. In any case, this could still be implemented in this environment. But here too, there is a lack of clear guidelines: schools and teachers are left alone with good advice. But how would those affected – the young people – solve it themselves? The Youth Parliament recently started this interesting self-experiment. More than 100 young people from different schools took on the role of representatives and simulated the possible legislative process.
