Chairman of Post Primary Schools Service Commission in the state, Prof Nkechi Ikediugwu, made the announcement at the Anambra Schools’ Cultural Day celebration on Friday in Awka.
Ikediugwu, according to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria, directed principals and teachers of secondary schools in the state to confiscate mobile phones brought to school by students.
She said the decision was aimed at curbing distractions and enhance academic performance.
Ikediugwu stated that there was the need to maintain discipline and focus in learning environments, noting that the increasing use of mobile phones by students during school hours had become a serious distraction to their studies.
“I am authorising principals and teachers to seize phones from students who come to school with them so that we can ensure that students concentrate on their academic work without the interference of phones.
“Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration is making significant investments in education to promote academic excellence and instill discipline among students,” she said.
She emphasised the beauty and uniqueness of Igbo traditions, describing them as valuable identity that should be cherished.
“Igbo culture extends beyond clothing and dancing, as the Igbos are also known for their honesty, truthfulness, hard work, respect for elders, and many other admirable qualities.
“It is important to continuously educate our students on the values and norms of Ndigbo, to preserve the rich heritage of the Igbo people,” she said.
