Researchers and officials noted that while a complete removal of mobile devices does not entirely solve the problem of bullying, it creates a safer environment. Schools have increasingly felt the effects of digital pressure and aggressive communication in recent years, necessitating continued efforts to ensure safety.
According to national recommendations adopted in 2024, phone use is prohibited in primary and middle school classes, and "mobile-free" breaks are organized for both younger and older students, reported by oz.inform.kz.
Norwegian Minister of Education Kari Nessa Nordtun described this decision as a vital measure to enhance student safety and well-being. Officials also emphasized the key role of parents, stating that preventing bullying and digital conflicts can only be achieved through close cooperation between families and schools.
