As reported by the Barbados Nation Newspaper, the Minister of Education and Human Resources Ronald Jones announced that he would be moving towards banning the use of cell phones by students at all schools in the island at the start of the new academic year. Though perhaps a good move to stop the use of mobiles within schools along with all ‘wrong doing’ that was made possible with this privilege, what about when these young citizens and prospective employees are outside of school and equipped with such ‘evil’ technology? Is this ban really adequate?
