Aussie schools say AI is in & phones are out

The NSW Government has banned all mobile phones from public schools. The new policy, effectively immediately now extends the original ban in primary schools to high schools as well. It'll be up to each school to figure out how to enforce the ban, the government kicking schools and teachers a nice little hospital-ball to catch there. Many schools around Australia already have similar bans in place with phones required to be stored in lockers at the beginning of the day or inside locked pouches. Meanwhile further north the QLD government has decided to stand on the beach with open arms to embrace the AI tsunami, announcing they plan on using an AI system called Cerego to generate classroom quizzes based off the QLD school curriculum. The pitch is that it will help teachers & students find gaps in their knowledge to focus their revision efforts. You know, just like a normal test and quiz does?
