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.

Parents largely support the decision, citing concerns over students' focus and inappropriate content creation. However, some, like Gérôme, suggest alternative educational reforms.
