A recent analysis conducted by the IRTIS research team at Masaryk University in Brno examined the impact of mobile phone bans in schools across 21 countries, including Czechia. The study found that while mobile phone bans reduce distractions in classrooms, they also contribute to increased misbehavior among students. Researchers concluded that blanket bans do not effectively improve academic performance and that schools should tailor their policies to their local conditions instead.

Specifically, the study pointed out that there was no significant correlation between mobile phone bans and improved student performance in mathematics across different countries. The negative consequences of such bans appear to offset any positive outcomes, suggesting that simply prohibiting mobile phones may not lead to the desired improvements in educational results. This has led to ongoing discussions among both government and opposition leaders in Czechia regarding how to better regulate mobile phone use in schools.

Moreover, the research investigated issues surrounding cyberbullying, online addiction, and students' mental well-being, stating that the bans did not show any direct correlation with these problems either. Children in schools with mobile phone bans exhibited similar levels of online symptoms as those in schools without such restrictions, reinforcing the notion that effective solutions require more nuanced approaches rather than outright bans.
