Secondary school principals association chairperson Indimuli Kahi has elicited a quite controversial debate over access to mobile phones by students. Kahi now says the changing trends in the digital economy should allow students to have mobile phones in schools. "Time has come when we need to think again on policies of use of mobile phones in schools by our students," Kahi said. Students would log in to classes, either using their own, or their parents' laptops and mobile phones. "During Covid, schools were closed students were always on digital platforms, but immediately we opened school we banned phones," he said.
