  • Esther Niubó, Catalonia's Education Minister, is considering completely banning the use of mobile phones in ESO and high school classrooms.
  • There is also consideration of removing all technological devices from the educational environment before children turn six.
  • Efforts to limit the use of electronic devices in schools continue, indicating the will of the Generalitat to enforce stricter restrictions.
  • Niubó's initiatives will be discussed by a group of experts whose final strategy will be decided in June.
  • While the digital revolution is inevitable, indiscriminate mobile use in schools can have negative consequences, such as cyberbullying, distribution of pornography, and the development of addictions.
  • It is crucial to ensure that education and knowledge transmission are not hindered by unrestricted use of mobile phones in the classroom.

Conclusion: The debate is not about total prohibition of mobile phones, but about their regulated and moderate usage, especially in educational settings, to ensure suitable learning conditions and prevent harmful outcomes.
