"Of late, it has come to our notice that some students and teachers are carrying mobile phones in classrooms and using them," the notice said. Teachers have been asked to leave their mobile phones at the teachers' lounge, but the notice does not say what the student will do if they carry mobile phones to schools or colleges. Director General of the Secondary and Higher Education Prof SM Wahiduzzaman told bdnews24.com that "a separate directive can be issued". He, however, said "not all of them were coming with mobile phones with bad intentions; some of them carry it for the emergency." Earlier, mobile phones were used to send question papers outside the exam halls to cheat in competitive examinations.
