In related news, Thailand’s Education Ministry is taking decisive steps to limit the use of digital devices in schools due to growing concerns over their negative impact on young students’ development. Caretaker Education Minister Police General Permpoon Chidchob highlighted that many students are bringing smartphones, tablets, and similar devices to school, which leads to significant time spent on these gadgets.
Research has shown that excessive use of digital devices can impair students’ concentration during classes and diminish their cognitive abilities over time. Several countries have already implemented measures to control student access to these devices during school hours.
