Banning smartphones in schools alone does not boost grades or wellbeing, according to a new UK study from the University of Birmingham. Researchers found that frequent phone and social media use is linked to lower grades, poor sleep, disruptive behavior, and less exercise. However, schools with phone bans did not show much difference compared to those without bans.  
The study, published in a medical journal, suggests that simply banning phones at school does not reduce total screen time. Instead, it recommends a broader plan to help students use their phones less both in and out of school. Smartphone Free Childhood director Joe Ryrie called the results “somewhat surprising,” yet still urged parents to delay giving smartphones to children and encouraged stricter social media rules.  
Meanwhile, a UK government official rejected the idea of passing a new law to ban phones, describing it as a “headline-grabbing gimmick.” Still, they agreed that smartphones do not belong in the classroom. Overall, the study highlights the need for more comprehensive solutions, including support at home and in school, to protect students’ mental and physical health.
