In April 2024, the school mobile phone ban came into effect in Aotearoa New Zealand. We invite students and educators to share their experiences since the change. Has school life improved? Stayed the same? Or become more challenging?  

The survey asks a variety of questions about your experiences at school, in your classes, with your peers/students, about the learning environment, and how the phone ban is being handled at your school. It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. 

Who can participate?
