Ban On Use Of Mobile Phones In SHS Wrong – Ken Ashigbey

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Communications, Kenneth Ashigbey, has described the ban by the Ghana Education Service (GES) on the use of mobile phones in Senior High Schools (SHSs) as inappropriate.

Thus, calling on the GES and other educational stakeholders to take a second look at the issue.

GES’ banned the use of mobile phones in basic and secondary schools to enable students concentrate more on their studies.

According to the Service, the uncontrolled use of mobile phones by students has a negative impact on their education since they waste valuable time on social media platforms.

However, to Mr. Ashigbey, the technological growth the world is experiencing, is enough reason for students to be allowed the freedom to explore.

He said technology has become key to academic development, Ultimate News’ Kwaku Baah Acheamfuor reported.

Speaking at the 88th Speech and Prize Giving Day of St. Augustine’s College last Saturday, he said, “Students are confronted by a global village and opportunities that are available in Ghana can also be accessed by students in India, China and across the globe, so they too can take advantage of the opportunities available globally.

In a quick response to Mr. Ashigbey’s call, the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cape Coast, His Grace, Most Rev Mathias Kobina Nketsia said though technology has become part of the world, students must be exposed to its usage with discipline and moral consciousness.

He said if students are not given the right guidance while they explore with their phones and other technological gadgets, its effect will have grave consequences on the country at large.
