Handheld Device Ban in Primary Schools: Is This Really the Best Approach?
The Debate Over Mobile Devices in the Classroom
Recently, the Education Minister of Saarland, Germany, announced a ban on mobile phones and smartwatches in primary schools, with exceptions for pedagogical, medical, or emergency reasons. This move aims to reinforce existing practices and create a unified framework across schools. The Minister emphasized not just setting rules but also fostering media literacy and critical thinking around digital technology. Other states, like Hessen, are also considering similar bans.
- New regulation to the handling of handheld devices.
- Focus on media literacy and critical thinking.
- Implementation and review planned for the coming school year.
But is banning the answer? Or are we missing an opportunity to embrace technology in education in a responsible and beneficial way?

BlitzFast was born from the vision of Engin, a father of four who understands the limitations of traditional education firsthand. His personal experience, including navigating challenges like bullying, fueled his desire to create a better alternative. He wanted to create a learning enviroment that would allow his children to learn where ever they are and at their pace, especially for families that are emigrants or digital nomads that don't want to make compromises when it comes to their childrens education.
"I want my children to not only learn, but to create, innovate and use technologies like AI for their benefit and the benefit of society. These topics are often neglected in traditional curricula." - Engin, Founder of BlitzFast
