Province surveying Albertans about student cellphone use in schools

Alberta's government is taking a renewed interest in student cellphone use within the province's schools.

Questions focused on when, where and under what circumstances students should be allowed to use cellphones at school. In a statement to CTV News, Nicolaides said the survey is following through on a previous commitment. "It is imperative that we take any and all measures possible to combat growing youth mental health concerns."Parents, teachers and school staff will receive a link to the survey from their local school authority.There will also be virtual engagement sessions for education stakeholders.

That was in response to questions about Alberta's stance after Quebec barred cellphone use in classrooms unless approved by a teacher for educational purposes.
