Turcan calls for phones ban in schools similar to Denmark's, after the PISA results: "We, who have much worse results, what are we waiting for?"

Raluca Turcan, a PNL deputy, urges for a swift ban on mobile phones in schools, inspired by Denmark's recent measures following PISA 2025 results. She emphasizes the need for legislative action, having previously submitted a bill that received support from the Ministry of Education. Denmark's government announced a total ban on mobile devices in schools to address declining student performance, with Romanian students showing even lower scores in PISA assessments. Turcan highlights the link between digital distractions and academic performance, while acknowledging that banning phones alone won't resolve broader educational issues in Romania, such as teaching quality and socioeconomic disparities.
