Regardless of what I think about cellphone usage in the classroom. I don't think this is something that UNESCO should have saying in. And definitely not be able to ban. Nor do I belive government should have saying in. This just should be the decision of each school on how they want to approach this.

When school are publicly funded you, naturally, get govt opinions on the matter.

I do agree with you. I think it's a decision that should be made at the lowest level possible.
