  • The Education Secretary has warned that schools have "no place" in the classroom as she gave schools her full backing to get rid of them.

The article from LBC discusses an incident where Education Secretary Gillian Keegan called a classroom during a lesson, which was perceived as an interruption by some. The call was made to a school in West Yorkshire to discuss the government's new policy on mobile phones in schools. This policy aims to ban the use of mobile phones during school hours to minimize distractions and improve student behavior. The headteacher, Naveed Idrees, expressed his discomfort with the call, highlighting the disruption it caused to the learning environment. The incident has sparked a debate about the appropriateness of such interventions by government officials into the daily operations of schools, with critics arguing it undermines the authority of teachers and headteachers. Meanwhile, supporters of the policy believe it addresses a significant issue affecting education quality.
