Newsflash
June 3, 2025
Hans-Peter Höerner MdL, deputy education spokesman for the AfD fraction in the state parliament, voiced his support for the amendment of the school law that aims to institute statewide smartphone rules as long-awaited:
"For us, the advantages far surpass the drawbacks, such as enhancing focus, safeguarding mental health, and providing legal security for schools. Nevertheless, there're legitimate apprehensions about practicality, privacy intrusions, and potential erosion of students' sense of responsibility. Here, schools should prioritize inclusivity, age-appropriate flexibility, media awareness promotion, and practical regulations to boost acceptance and offset disadvantages, especially regarding smartwatch usage. A review must be conducted after a year to ascertain if the educational benefits surpass the practical, legal, and social challenges."
