As a student，do you have a phone？Have you ever taken it to school？If you answer "Yes"，you might have to make some changes.
   The Ministry of Education（教育部）released（颁布） a notice in January that prevents primary and middle school students from carrying mobile phones to school.The new notice also made it clear that if students do need to bring mobile phones to school for some reasons，a written application（申请）should be handed into school along with the permission from their parents.Once the application has bee accepted，students should hand in their mobile phones to school or to their head teachers.The phone will be kept together and should by no means be allowed to be taken into classrooms until the end of the school day.
   According to a 2020 report by the China Internet Network Information Center，China had 17 S million Internet users under the age of 18 in 2019，with 74 percent having their own mobile phones.Now，many schools have taken action to limit students' phone use at school According to Zhou Dandan，an English teacher at Beijing No.20 High School，every classroom in her school has a special box to keep students' phones during class.Before the new notice，she noticed that many students spent plenty of time on their phones.Some even played games on them during class.
