Australia - NSW to Use Phone Blocking Technology on it's Students

A tactic used in NSW prisons could soon be implemented in Aussie schools under a proposed plan reportedly being considered by Labor.

Similar mobile phone jamming technology is already being used in two regional NSW prisons, Lithgow Correctional Centre and Goulburn Correctional Centre, to stop inmates illegally using mobile devices.

The technology would stop phones ringing or receiving text messages during class time, block access to social media sites, and prevent students hotspotting their phone’s network to school laptops in order to view unauthorised content.
