A representative of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training said that strict management of mobile phones and broadcasting devices is necessary to limit the situation of students losing concentration during class.

Schools are required to collect devices before the first class and return them after students have finished their lessons. This management is done on a class-by-class basis.

In cases where the teacher requires the use of mobile phones for the purpose of the lesson, students will be allowed to bring them into class at the teacher’s direction. However, the lesson must be designed so that it is not mandatory for all students to have mobile phones.

Previously, in November 2024, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training issued a document instructing schools to strengthen control over the use of phones in schools due to concerns about affecting the quality of education .

However, in the 2024-2025 school year, some schools still loosened management, causing many parents to report that their children still used phones during class, secretly accessed social networks, texted or played video games.

The Hanoi Department of Education and Training also called on parents to cooperate with schools in educating and managing their children to use mobile devices for the right purposes and in accordance with regulations.

To ensure safety and security in schools, the department also requires schools to publicize hotlines to receive and promptly handle reports related to school security, safety and school violence.
