Saxony's Minister of Education Conrad Clemens considers an extension of the cell phone ban at secondary schools to be conceivable. "Personally, I can imagine a ban on cell phones up to the eighth grade," said the CDU politician in an interview with MDR.
He referred to the considerable effects associated with young people's private smartphone use, such as poor concentration. According to Clemens, there should be fewer private cell phones and more media literacy in schools.
