Sinabi ng mambabatas na hindi maitatangging maraming benepisyo ang paggamit ng cellphone at iba pang digital devices.
“With its many advantages, these smart devices can also cause distraction and disruption to work and school activities especially among the youth,” paliwanag nito.
Dagdag nito, “This bill seeks to prohibit, with few exceptions, cellphones and other digital devices to use or access, irrespective of duration, for any student in all private and public kindergarten, elementary, and secondary (including senior high school) education institutions within the classroom or any area, whether or not within the school premises, where teaching lessons or activities are performed.”
Nakasaad din sa panukalang batas na aatasan ang bawat eskwelahan na magtatag ng device depositary office kung saan maaring i-deposit ng mga estudyante ang kanilang phone at gadgets pagpasok ng paaralan.
