Belarusian Schools Implement Strict Phone Ban, Students Raise Safety Concerns

Minsk, Belarus – A new school policy in Belarus regarding mobile phone usage during lessons has sparked debate, with one student, Anissa, voicing significant concerns in a recent online video. The policy outlines various disciplinary actions for students found with phones, ranging from written notes in their diaries to mandatory essays and phone confiscation. Anissa, a student, highlighted several potential issues with the new regulations. She questioned the practicality of confiscating phones, especially considering that parents might need to contact their children in emergencies. She argued that if a child becomes ill or is involved in an accident, their inability to reach a parent due to a confiscated phone could have serious consequences. Furthermore, she pointed out the logistical challenges for parents attempting to retrieve confiscated phones, particularly if they work late and teachers have already left school premises. Anissa also expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of disciplinary essays, suggesting that students might simply write similar, uninspired responses. Her video reflects a broader sentiment among some students and parents who believe the policy is overly stringent and fails to account for real-world scenarios.
