Uno stop ai cellulari negli istituti scolastici inglesi. Lo ha deciso il Ministero dell’Istruzione britannico chiedendo, lo scorso febbraio, ai presidi di vietare agli studenti di utilizzare i telefoni cellulari durante l’orario scolastico. Il divieto, che si estende anche alla ricreazione, sarebbe motivato dal fatto che gli studenti possano concentrarsi meglio sui propri studi e sull’apprendimento.
