France to trial ban on mobile phones at school for children
under 15Kim Willsher - Paris
Tue 27 Aug 2024France is to trial a ban on mobile phones at school
pupils who are younger than 15, seeking to give children a
"digital pause" that, if judged successful, could be rolled
out nationwide from January.Just under 200 secondary schools will take place in the
experiment that will require youngsters to hand over
phones on arrival at reception. It takes the prohibition on
the devices further than a 2018 law that banned pupils at
primary and secondary schools from using their phones on
the premises but allowed them to keep possession of
them.Announcing the trial on Tuesday, the acting education
minister, Nicole Belloubet, said the aim was to give
youngsters a "digital pause". If the trial proves successful,
the ban would be introduced in all schools from January,
Belloubet said.A commission set up by the president, Emmanuel Macron,
expressed concern that the overexposure of children to
screens was having a detrimental effect on their health and
development. A 140-page report published in March concluded there was
"a very clear consensus on the direct and indirect negative
effects of digital devices on sleep, on being sedentary - a
lack of physical activity and the risk of being overweight
and even obese - as well as on sight". It said the "hyper"
use of phones and other digital technology was not only
bad for children but also for "society and civilisation".
The report recommended children's use of mobile phones
be controlled in stages: no mobile phones before the age
of at least 11, mobiles without internet access between 11
and 13, phones with internet but no access to social media
before 15.It also suggested children under three years old should not
be exposed at all to digital devices, which it said were "not
necessary for the healthy development of the child".
"We must put the digital tool in its place. Up to at least six
years old a child has no need for a digital device to
develop," Servane Mouton, a neurologist and
neurophysiologist who was on the commission, said. "We
have to teach parents once again how to play with their
children." Banning phones in schools has long been debated across
Europe. In countries where bans exist this is most often
confined to their use and do not require children to hand
them over.In Germany there are no formal restrictions but most
schools have prohibited the use of mobile phones and
digital devices in classrooms except for education
purposes. A quasi ban has been in place in Dutch
secondary school classrooms since the beginning of this
year, but as a recommendation and not a legal obligation.
From this school year the directive will also apply to
primary schools.Italy was early to phone bans, introducing one in 2007,
easing it in 2017 and reimposing it in 2022. It applies to all
age groups.In February this year, the British government issued
guidance for schools "on prohibiting the use of mobile
phones throughout the school day" but said it was for
individual head teachers and leaders to decide on phone
use policy.Portugal is experimenting with a compromise by
introducing a number of phone-free days at schools each
month, while in Spain schools in some autonomous
regions have imposed a ban but there is no nationwide
prohibition.Adapted from: <https://www.thequardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/27/franceto-trial-ban-on-mobile-phones-at-school-for-children-under-15> According to the text: Alternativa A: in Germany, mobile phone use has been formally restricted for education purposes in all schools. Ou Alternativa B: in Italy, a more severe phone ban for all age groups
was imposed in 2017, but it didn't last 5 years. Ou Alternativa C: in Portugal, there are some specific days a month
when students can't use their phones at school. Ou Alternativa D: in Holland, schools have legally banned the use of
mobile phones or any digital devices in class. Ou Alternativa E: in the UK, head teachers and leaders are allowed to
call the police to prohibit phone use in schools.

Alternativa [C] in Portugal, there are some specific days a month
when students can't use their phones at school. Gabarito: CFundamento decisivo: A chave era localizar no texto o trecho sobre Portugal: “Portugal is experimenting with a compromise by introducing a number of phone-free days at schools each month”. Como o enunciado pede o que está de acordo com o texto, essa informação leva diretamente à alternativa C.Tema central: informação explícita no textoAnálise das alternativasAErradaIncorreta porque o texto afirma o contrário: na Alemanha “there are no formal restrictions”. O que o texto acrescenta é que a maioria das escolas proibiu o uso em sala, exceto para fins educacionais; isso não autoriza dizer que há restrição formal em todas as escolas.BErradaIncorreta porque inverte a cronologia e o sentido da informação sobre a Itália. O texto diz que a proibição foi introduzida em 2007, flexibilizada em 2017 e reimposta em 2022; portanto, 2017 não foi um momento de endurecimento da medida.CCertaA alternativa C está correta porque corresponde fielmente à informação expressa no texto sobre Portugal: o país está testando uma solução intermediária, com alguns dias por mês sem celular nas escolas. O critério aqui é correspondência literal entre a alternativa e a passagem do texto, sem trocar o alcance da medida nem sua frequência.DErradaIncorreta porque o texto diz que, na Holanda, existe uma quasi ban nas salas do ensino secundário como recomendação, não como obrigação legal. A alternativa transforma recomendação em banimento legal.EErradaIncorreta porque o texto apenas informa que o governo britânico emitiu guidance e deixou para head teachers e leaders decidir a política sobre uso de celulares. Não há qualquer menção à polícia; esse elemento foi inventado pela alternativa.Pegadinha da questãoA questão explorou trocas de sentido muito específicas: ausência de restrição formal versus restrição formal, orientação versus obrigação legal, recomendação versus proibição legal e acréscimo de informação inexistente no texto.Dica para questões semelhantesEm questões de reading, valide a alternativa pelo trecho exato do texto; se ela amplia, endurece ou acrescenta algo, tende a estar errada.Observe palavras de status normativo, como formal restriction, guidance, recommendation e legal obligation; a troca entre elas muda a resposta.Cheque a cronologia quando a alternativa mencionar datas ou mudança de política; inverter easing e reimposing altera completamente o sentido.
