　　Interference technology and education policy

　　Late last year, the telecommunications regulator received a proposal from Educell to trial a "set it and forget it system" to limit mobile phone coverage in schools.Wifi jammer The technology is designed to block students from using social media and sending and receiving calls and text messages. The proposal was supported by two private school principals, Reddam House and Arndell Anglican College, who believe that mobile phone jammers can effectively reduce the disruption of mobile phones in the classroom.

　　Challenges of policy implementation

　　New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car said the government was evaluating various options available to implement a school mobile phone ban. She pointed out that other states that have successfully implemented mobile phone restrictions, such as Victoria and South Australia, could provide valuable experience. However, TPG Telecom's head of external communications, Mitchell Bingemann, warned that mobile phone jammers could inadvertently disrupt mobile services in nearby homes and businesses, or even block important communications between students and their families in an emergency.

　　Federal Government Role

　　Federal Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said the Australian Communications and Media Authority had received Educell's proposal and was requesting more technical information. The advancement of the proposal requires ensuring that jamming technology operates legally and safely while avoiding unnecessary interference with public communications systems.

　　Although Educell's proposal has been supported by some schools, there are still widespread controversies and technical challenges. Governments and regulators need to find a balance between safeguarding public interests and educational needs to develop reasonable and effective policies.
