other electronic means of communication within the school premises.

time of teaching. However, modern electronic equipment can sometimes be
used in the educational process at the discretion of teachers.
Students allowed to use their own wireless equipment and have access to
the wireless network (WiFi) of the school, during specific teaching hours,
because of the potential learning benefits that mobile phones and digital
devices can provide to bring to class, under the strict supervision of teachers
and then WiFi is disabled.
