Punjab Higher Education Department (HED) has imposed a ban on mobile phone use in colleges across the province, restricting both students and teachers from using phones inside classrooms.
According to an official notification sent to all colleges, the decision aims to maintain a focused learning environment, as excessive mobile phone usage has been disrupting academic activities. The notification highlighted concerns that students frequently use social media apps during lectures, while teachers’ phone usage also affects the classroom atmosphere.
The district college directors have been instructed to strictly enforce the ban, with warnings of action against non-compliance.
