The Government should introduce a statutory ban on mobile phones in schools to alleviate the pressure on parents, teachers and headteachers, the leader of the largest education union in the UK has said

Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), warned that children have access to “hardcore pornography” on their phones which is “damaging” to both boys and girls.
