The United Nation’s education, science and culture agency, UNESCO, is urging Caribbean countries to be part of a global ban on the use of mobile phones in schools.
A New UN report is raising concerns about the excessive use of smartphones and its impacts on learning.
The UNESCO report on technology in education urges countries to carefully consider how technology is used in schools and emphasises the need for a “human-centred vision” where digital technology serves as a tool rather than taking precedence.
UNESCO’s Director of the Global Education Monitoring, Manos Antoninis, is also warning of the danger of data leaks in educational tech, as only 16 per cent of countries guarantee data privacy in the classroom, by law.
