Human Rights Commission "Demand to Amend Restrictions on Students Carrying Mobile Phones... School Authorities Reject" View original image

The Human Rights Commission judged that Middle School A did not accept the recommendation, responding that "since this matter was decided after gathering opinions from school members, we will continue to collect mobile phones uniformly as is."


The Human Rights Commission had recommended revising the school life regulations to Middle School A last April, judging that prohibiting students from using mobile phones during school hours excessively restricts students' freedom.



The Human Rights Commission expressed "regret" over Middle School A's refusal to accept the recommendation, pointing out that "according to the Constitution and international human rights treaties, schools have the responsibility to respect and protect students' human rights."
