Italy has imposed a national ban on students using mobile phones in schools. Officials say the ringtones disrupt classes, however there has been other issues. Italians were shocked after images of students sexually harassing a female teacher were recorded by a mobile phone and later appeared on YouTube.
The ban follows a series of incidents that have shocked Italians. In November, a video showing a disabled pupil being bullied by classmates, filmed on a mobile phone, caused outcry after it was posted on the Internet. In another, pupils filmed each other sexually harassing a female teacher.
