Mixed reactions to HC ruling on smartphone use in schools

However, stakeholders—including teachers, students, and parents—expressed a mixed reaction to smartphone usage in schools, with a significant portion expressing concern about the potential impact on learning.

Satvir Singh, principal of Vidya Bal Bhawan, said, "Smartphones can be used in two different ways—one as a teaching aid, which would be very beneficial for students, and another under the able guidance of teachers. In both cases, schools will have to formulate certain policies without which the usage of smartphones in schools will not be feasible."
