The Ministry of Education and Technical Education calls on parents to ensure monitoring their children's activity on smart phones, in light of the spread of electronic applications and games that may pose a serious threat to their mental and physical health.

In this context, the Ministry confirms that it has instructed all educational departments nationwide to warn school principals to monitor any unusual activities carried out by students that may harm them, and to implement awareness campaigns about the harms of electronic games that some students seek to apply on the ground.

The Ministry also confirms that family control has become an urgent necessity and a top priority in light of some students practicing dangerous activities through smart phone applications, which affects their mental and physical health, which in turn is reflected in their academic performance.
