Kosovar children dependent on phones

This has come as a result of a new law in this country. Such a decision would be welcome in Kosovo. That's how he named for “Ineksonline” and Dukagjin Pupovci, head of the Kosovo Education Centre.

Based on a study conducted by 200 Pristina high school students in 2016, over 96% of them have smart phones with which to access the internet.

This, according to Pupovci, can even often lead to conflict.

This certainly affects loss of attention, while in certain situations it may also be a source of conflict among students, since the messages conveyed in this form are not always friendly” said Pupovci.

But the total departure of the phones is not considered easy either, not even Pupovci, stressing that people have created dependence on their use, but parents also want to control their child while they are away. In addition, to apply this system in Kosovo according to Pupovci, investment is needed, and logistical difficulties may even be presented on execution.

Therefore, it is reasonable to analyze France's experience with stopping mobile phones in schools. This is no easy task, since a certain type of cell - phone addiction has developed in humans, and many parents ask their children to have their cell phone on their side to communicate. For this reason, I think it should be possible for children to hand over their mobile phones for coming to school that requires little investment. There should be a person who takes responsibility for their preservation, while logistical difficulties can be presented in large schools because of the large number of mobile phones that must be delivered”, he said.

Official from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology contacted by “Index” has made it known that this is already in the preparation phase.

“MAST is already in the phase of preparing an Administrative Guide, which will also determine the ban on phone use by students” says in their response. That any element that affects the learning process would have to be eliminated, Mentor Hoxhaj, former state overseer at the Agency for Personal Data Protection and information security expert. It for “Indescsonline”, has said that behind such decisions there are studies related to mobile phone dependence. “... this negatively affects the learning process. Where young people and young people stand over 90% of online time on social networks, known as “freeka” don't be leaving something or posting/lic without looking at” he said.

Hoxha has stressed that a solution would be good for internet use, but that in Kosovo leaves much to wish for.

The key role in this process is good education of safe internet use, and this in Kosovo allows enough to be desired. As a result, we can have double consequences of being endangered in Cyberspace and dependent on Cyberspace” Hoxha has said. Although life without an electric space is considered impossible and aggressive, Hoxha considers that the only solution is to be educated for Internet use.

Of course, it's a refrain to think about the learning and educational process without TI. Normally, we stressed that this development brings new challenges. Which may bring the idea of leaving TI. But that is not the solution to the problem. We have to prepare, as a society, for Cyberspace Challenges. Where education is the solution! ” he said. Otherwise, telephones have been banned in France within class hours since 2010, but new laws are prohibited during meal pauses, yet exemptions may be available for disabled children.
