Gavin Williamson launches consultation on behaviour, but unions say it is an attempt to distract from government’s Covid failures
Mobile phones could be banned in schools as part of a government clampdown on poor discipline in classrooms in England.
The education secretary, Gavin Williamson, said he wants a ban on mobile phones as he launched a consultation on pupil behaviour and discipline in schools. He said he wanted to make the school day “mobile-free” to help ensure that classrooms remain calm and pupils can overcome the impact of the pandemic.
