Mobile phones are already banned from Greek schools since 2006.
The government issued a new set of cost-cutting changes for this academic year. The most fundamental change is that they merge classes together (at least 25 students) to save money. The teachers are unable to work with such big classes.
"Merging" as in ~25 is the new class size after merge or two classes of ~25 will merge to a new class size of ~50? I never really considered it before but on looking it up it seems some places have average class sizes <20 whereas where I went to school 25-30 was typical so I genuinely don't know which applies in this case.
Even 30 I think worked out towards the later years but, looking back, I have no idea how grade school classes of 25+ held together. 50 would have to be just nuts for all but maybe the final year or two.
having studied in 45-50 student classrooms until high school, i think this has more to do with the sudden paradigm change than anything else. unless there are physical/infra challenges.
