Primary and middle school students, and thus those in the first eight years of school, will not be permitted to use their mobile phones in class, even for educational purposes. This is the novelty contained in the circular signed by Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara. "I don't think you can do good teaching with a mobile phone", Valditara said yesterday. Another Ministry directive requests that schools require students to keep a traditional paper diary. "Without prejudice to the fact that parents will continue to be notified with the electronic register, I have arranged that for the next school year the diary of the past where the child writes down his homework in pen will return”.
