On the other hand it has been insisted by the government that the freshly proposed measures in the bill would stand to assert the teachers' authority, besides allowing them to deals with issues in school more effectively.

It is noteworthy that different policies have been developed by schools on the mobile phone use of the pupils. While attempting to confiscate the mobile phones of the students many teachers have faced challenge from students as well as their parents.
