NEWS CHARIOT:-In a significant move aimed at improving discipline and focus in classrooms, the Telangana Education Department has issued a directive prohibiting government school teachers from using mobile phones while teaching. This decision will be enforced starting from the upcoming academic year, marking a shift towards stricter classroom management.
The Education Department made the announcement following a high-level meeting attended by District Educational Officers (DEOs), Regional Joint Directors of Education (RJDIs), and principals of District Institutes of Education and Training (DIET). During the session, the officials were clearly instructed that strict action will be taken against teachers who violate this new rule. The use of mobile phones in classrooms has been identified as a major distraction, hindering the teaching-learning process.
To ensure the smooth implementation of the new rule, the Education Department has emphasized the importance of surprise inspections in schools. These unannounced checks will help monitor adherence to the directive and ensure that teachers are not using mobile phones during lessons. The department’s initiative aims to maintain a professional environment conducive to learning and avoid distractions that could affect students’ academic progress.

While the mobile phone ban is seen as a step towards enhancing educational standards, it has raised concerns among some teachers, who argue that mobile phones are often used for educational purposes. However, the department remains firm in its stance, emphasizing that the primary goal is to foster an environment of uninterrupted learning.The directive is expected to take effect at the start of the next school year, and schools will be monitored closely to ensure compliance.
