Anyone can read that site and make up their minds about the scientific merit of it's claims.

I assume it's very intentional that it's right down the bottom in tiny text that's it state government owned media vehicle

"Our team screened 1,317 articles and reports as well as dissertations from masters and PhD students. We identified 22 studies that examined schools before and after phone bans."

"Our research found four studies that identified a slight improvement in academic achievement when phones were banned in schools. However, two of these studies found this improvement only applied to disadvantaged or low-achieving students."

"In a sign of just how little research there is on this topic, 12 of the studies we identified were done by masters and doctoral students. This means they are not peer-reviewed"

Do you really want to keep wasting people's times here because I'm more than happy to debate it with someone who actually cares.

Nothing in that article suggests it's of overwhelming benefit. I'm talking much bigger than teachers having an easier job too, education outcomes like this take decades to be seen.

Mate you've spammed us all with the first things you've found on google. Correct?
