Pupils may be banned from using phones during lessons
  • For example, there are plans to add requirements for classroom discipline and school behaviour to students’ internal rules.
  • To prevent distraction, it is proposed to prohibit pupils from using communication devices during lessons. Exceptions would apply in dangerous situations or when accessing electronic resources required by the educational programme.
  • Several changes to strengthen teachers’ standing may also be introduced.
  • It is established that teaching staff have the right to respect for their human dignity and protection from all forms of physical and psychological violence and personal insults.
  • School administrations will be required to consider teachers' requests for disciplinary measures against pupils.
