As far as I can see phones are not toys and I will explain you why. First of all phones were created for communication and not to be a toy for teenagers. Even though now a’days they have way more functions then 50 years ago their main function is still communication. Of course some people use them to play mobile games and scroll though Instagram, but this doesn’t make them a toy because the majority of people use them for communication with society. And even while playing video games teenagers communicate with each-other. Overall phones are used by people for communication and not as a toy. Its just that people now a days can communicate not just by calling each other, but through video games and Social media.

On any given school day, over 1 billion children around the world head to class.
More children and adolescents today are enrolled in pre-primary, primary and secondary education than ever before. Yet, for many of them, schooling does not lead to learning.
A lack of trained teachers, inadequate learning materials, makeshift classes and poor sanitation facilities make learning difficult for many children. Others come to school too hungry, sick or exhausted from work or household tasks to benefit from their lessons.
The consequences are grave: An estimated 617 million children and adolescents around the world are unable to reach minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics – even though two thirds of them are in school.
This learning crisis is the greatest global challenge to preparing children and adolescents for life, work and active citizenship.
