The addiction of the growing smartphone among school going students is becoming worrying. In view of this, some time ago Australia banned social media for teenagers. Now South Korea has also taken such a decision and has stopped carrying mobile phones and digital devices in the classroom. This decision will be applicable in schools across the country. The leaders here say that social media addiction among the youth is taking the form of a big crisis.
Decision will be implemented from next year
The decision passed by the Parliament of South Korea on Wednesday will come into effect from March next year. Leader Cho Jung-Hun, who proposes this rule, said that children keep running Instagram and tickets till late night. Every morning his eyes are red and they stay on Instagram till 2-3 pm. Earlier, such decisions have also been implemented in Australia and Netherlands. The focus of students has improved after the decision in the Netherlands.
These problems were seen in students
98 percent of South Korea’s population has a smartphone and about 99 percent of the population here uses the Internet. Last year, the Ministry of Education here conducted a survey. In this, 37 percent of the middle and high school students said that social media is affecting their daily lives. 22 percent of the students participating in the survey said that when they do not access social media, they start getting anxiety. Due to this, smartphones were already banned in many schools and now this rule has come into force in schools across the country. However, disabled children have not been included in this rule. Also, there is no restriction on the use of smartphones for the purpose of studies.
