Malaysian teens all for using phones during classes


PETALING JAYA: Malaysian teenagers are not ready to put away their phones during classes, despite a United Nations’ recommendation that students do so to protect their mental health and prevent distractions.

The recommendation came from a 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) that analysed global policies on the use of technology in classrooms as well as studies on how screens and social media impact young people.
