Over 150 UK clinicians warn screen time in schools harms children's health
More than 150 GPs, paediatricians and other medical specialists have written an open letter to UK Education Secretary Lucy Powell and Health Secretary Yvette Cooper warning that excessive screen time from tablets and laptops in English schools is harming children's physical and developmental health. The clinicians argue that digital devices are being used in classrooms without full understanding of their long-term effects on speech, eyesight and overall development.
