"A piece of news in advance: for the next school year we would like to ban the use of mobile phones in high schools as well.
This was announced by Education and Merit Minister Giuseppe Valditara during the programme 'Five minutes' on Rai Uno.
Valditara: young people must be brought back to pen and paper
"From a scholastic point of view, the mobile phone certainly has a negative impact. I believe the most effective way is to get children used to it, and to bring them back to the use of books, paper and the pen'. These are the words of Education and Merit Minister Giuseppe Valditara at Porta a Porta, Bruno Vespa's programme on Rai 1.
We have shocking data on children going to pornographic sites at the age of 6. Also impressive is the 38% of children suffering from sleep disorders caused by mobile phones.
Relevant data on skills and school success: as many as three times as many failures or school failures for children who use mobile phones immoderately'.
