A year without cell phones: a decision that makes a difference

A year ago, Gimnasio La Montaña took a bold step: becoming a Phone-Free School, along with other Uncoli schools, a decision welcomed by parents and teachers. Today, the results of the first national study on cell phone restrictions in schools—led by Stanford University, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank, and published by El Tiempo—confirm that it was the right decision.

Decision regarding the use of mobile electronic devices at school

It is with deep consideration and commitment to the well-being of our students that I address you. In recent times, we have witnessed the detrimental effects that the excessive use of personal electronic devices has had on the emotional, physical, and mental health of children and young people. This concern is not unique to our institution; it is an issue that resonates internationally and requires concrete action to address it.
