Chetumal, Quintana Roo — Teachers at public schools across Quintana Roo will also be barred from using cellphones and mobile devices during class starting Nov. 3, the state’s deputy secretary of basic education said.
The restriction, confirmed by Lorenzo Olivera, applies to students and teachers alike and forms part of a nationwide agreement aimed at removing distractions from the classroom and improving academic performance.
Olivera said education officials have already met with school supervisors, principals and teachers to inform them of the policy and to ask that instructors set the example for their students.
He warned that the Quintana Roo Education Department will monitor compliance and that schools falling short will handle violations under the rules set out in their existing school coexistence agreements.
According to Olivera, Quintana Roo currently reports a 73 percent academic achievement rate, a figure he said exceeds the national average and which officials hope to raise further through the new measure.
