"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"In the letter, reportedly seen by the BBC and The Times, Ms Phillipson stated it was "not appropriate for phones to be used as calculators, or for research" at any time, both inside and outside of class. Last week, the government issued updated guidance around phone use in schools, stressing pupils should not have access to their devices during lessons, break times, lunch times, or between lessons."
The Independent sends journalists to report on reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and relies on donations to fund free, paywall-free reporting. Donations allow continued on-the-ground reporting, investigative work, and documentary production like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. England's Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson urged headteachers to enforce a total phone ban during the school day, stating phones should not be used as calculators or for research at any time. The government updated guidance bars access during lessons, breaks, lunches, and between lessons. DSIT will direct Ofsted to examine schools' phone policies and teachers are advised not to use phones in front of pupils.
