Togo: Ban on Mobile Phones in Schools
The Togolese government has banned mobile phones in schools following a significant drop in exam success rates, attributing the decline to excessive phone use by students. The Ministry of Technical Education, represented by Kayi Afidé Alognon, argues that the ban aims to enhance learning quality and protect students' mental health. Parents largely support the decision, citing concerns over students' focus and inappropriate content creation. However, some, like Gérôme, suggest alternative educational reforms. Violators of the ban will have their phones confiscated, and schools are urged to incorporate the ban into their regulations.
