Most pupils and students are using mobile phones too much and they studies suffer.
This is the view of Yei Municipality Deputy Mayor Silvano Ali. He said school children load songs in the mobiles and enjoy listening to it neglecting their homework, Easter Radio reported.
He wondered if children really revised their lessons because most of the time he saw most of them busy with their mobile phones.
Mr Ali urged parents to control their children’s use of mobiles.
He praised churches for their efforts to provide quality education, reiterating the commitment to support both government and church schools in the municipality.
Mr Ali called on the churches to further efforts to lift the education sector to a better level because it is through education that the nation will develop.
The deputy mayor made the remarks during the launch of a project for Yei and Morobo counties under the theme ‘Together for effective education and management.’
