7 February 2024 at 14:02 Children’s ombudsman on mobile phone-free: – It is important that we do not go completely from one ditch to another Children’s ombudsman Inga Bejer Engh will not exclusively support the recommendation that mobile phones must be taken out of the classroom. It was the Directorate of Education that recommended this in a report discussed by news on Wednesday. – It is important that we do not go completely from one ditch to another when it comes to mobile use. Mobile phones are part of children’s and young people’s everyday lives, and we have to ensure that pupils get good digital skills, says Engh to news. Engh believes it is important for children to learn to regulate their mobile phone use. She also believes that many schools today already have good routines to avoid disturbances from mobile phone use in the classroom. – Whether it is the right measure when it comes to recess is something that we question, here I believe that it is important to listen to what the students themselves say. The older the children are, the more they should be able to help influence this, says Engh. If national routines are introduced that take mobile phones out of the classroom, the children’s ombudsman points out that it is important that such a routine is evaluated.
