Parents private schools, also covered, are opposed as it restricts the use of mobile phones in the school enclosure, already provided for in the government program.
From September, students from 1st to 6th grade are prohibited to bring mobile phone to school. The measure, advanced by, arrives by the voice of the Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandre.
“We have already announced, is in the electoral program and the government program, which we intend to institute the ban. Last year we made the prohibition recommendation, we prepared the ban for the 1st and 2nd cycle, regardless of the nature of the institution, so, so, so It will be in the public and in the private ”justifies.
In fact, the prohibition of mobile phones until the 6th grade was already planned, even though private schools prefer to manage the theme without intervention by the Ministry.
Rodrigo Queiroz and Melo, from the Association of Private and Cooperative Education Establishments (AEEP), says that “It is not a theme that requires legislative measurealthough for more stressed parents because they cannot contact their children a national norm can help. ”
“The ban in the 1st cycle (1st to 4th year) has no problem, but in the 2nd cycle (5th and 6th, year) will create situations of lack of equity, Because students of the 2nd cycle go in schools with students in the 3rd cycle and even the secondary. Therefore they had to ban everyone ”, comments with the CM the National Confederation of Parent Associations (Confap), which disagrees with the measure.
“ They cannot ask to take mobile phones to do research. This has to be well thought out and it is necessary to see the consequences of the ban. Confap has never agreed with the ban, we are more for prevention. Forbidding never gives good result“.
In other European countries, according to, there are already restrictions on the use of mobile phones in schools. In Spain, for example, this decision is made at the regional level – each administrative area implements the measures it deems necessary, with some already limiting the use of mobile phones.
