Mario Delgado, national leader of the MORENA party, has initiated a nationwide consultation with teachers concerning the use of mobile phones in classrooms. The process began today, with educators tasked with completing a diagnostic questionnaire. This survey is designed to gather their perspectives and experiences with student cell phone usage in educational environments.
The consultation seeks to inform a potential policy on how mobile devices should be managed within schools. Delgado's initiative underscores a growing debate in many countries about the role of technology in education and the challenges it presents. The questionnaire will likely probe teachers' views on the benefits and drawbacks of allowing or prohibiting cell phones during class time.

The consultation aims to ensure that any future decisions are grounded in the practical realities faced by educators and students.
