The authorities of the Viqarunnisa Noon School and College have banned the use of smartphones on campus for the students to maintain the educational environment of the institution.
A notice signed by Viqarunnisa’s Acting Principal Keka Roy Chowdhury was issued in this regard on May 24.
The students can bring button phones only with the permission of appropriate authorities in case of emergency, the notice said.
In this connection, the Acting Principal Keka Roy on Monday told Jago News that bringing smartphones to educational institutions creates various problems in education. So, the decision has been taken considering the educational environment of the institution.
She said she hopes the students and guardians will support them in this decision.
