This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Make schools allow their students to use their phones in school.
Rejected on
Schools should be embracing modern technology and allowing their students on their mobile phones at break times and lunch times. If students were allowed on their phones during lessons they could educate themselves about topics they are learning about at school.
This would also allow new ways of interaction between students and teachers. Teachers would gain many other opportunities to support their students.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Mobile phone policy in schools is the responsibility of individual schools. You could raise this with the school's governing body.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
