Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin has reiterated that smartphones will continue to be banned in schools so as to curb gaming and digital devices addictions among students.

In fact, Radzi said that such a ban is actually more important now to ensure that students won’t use these devices for too long of a period, which will allegedly cause addiction.
