Taliban Bans Smartphones in Afghan Schools

The Taliban in Afghanistan have told students, teachers, and staff at schools not to bring smartphones.

They say this is to help people focus on learning and follow their religious rules.

A teacher thinks this is a good idea, as it can help students focus on studies.

However, some students worry it might make it harder to learn, especially since girls are not allowed to go to secondary school or university in the country.

The ban is part of a larger effort to limit the use of digital devices and visual media, like photos.
