In an open letter published on Thursday, CNEL said it was dissatisfied with the new regulations on mobile phone use in secondary schools. However, rather than the use of phones themselves, they said they were unhappy with the restrictions placed on WiFi access in schools for students under 15.
Students who do not have mobile data, for example, due to financial constraints, are therefore disadvantaged as a result of the new policy. CNEL said it was surprised at the measures and added that the Ministry of Education had neglected to consult them in the decision-making process.
