YEREVAN, December 22. /ARKA/. Restrictions on mobile phone use in Yerevan schools will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the entire educational process, said Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan.
"Relevant studies can be conducted after a certain period of time to compare with the previous period," Avinyan noted at a working meeting at City Hall on Monday.
Margarit Khachatryan, Head of the General Education Department at the City Hall, stated that work to restrict mobile phone use in Yerevan's public schools has been completed.
"The relevant regulations have been adopted by school administrations," Khachatryan said.
The restrictions on the use of smart technology in schools, initiated by the City Hall, prohibit students in grades 1-6 from using mobile phones during lessons, breaks, and events. For students in grades 7-12, the restrictions apply not only to smartphones, but also to tablets, smartwatches, and other gadgets—they can only be used for educational purposes.
