Over 16,000 students have been expelled from schools in Greece for using mobile phones in class, after a ban on the devices was introduced, reports the Bulgarian National Radio correspondent in Greece.

Despite the children’s apparent resistance to the regulation, it will be strictly enforced, announced the Minister of Education Kyriakos Pierakakis. For the first offense, the student is removed from class for one day and his parents are informed, for the second offense, expulsion and transfer to another school follow.

Psychologists confirm that there is a direct connection between the use of mobile phones and the mental health of adolescents. Many students are dependent on their social contacts on the Internet, experts say.

On the other hand, teachers’ observations show that children concentrate and learn much more easily without their mobile phones.

Parents also fully support the decision of the Ministry of Education and even believe that the ban in schools somewhat helps children reduce their dependence on phones.
