Schools today face a new challenge: smartphones and social media are competing for students’ attention. Teachers everywhere notice the same problem: lower concentration, shorter attention spans, and grades dropping. That’s why schools in Cambodia are beginning to join the #BeyondTheScreen campaign.

Studies show that excessive screen use affects focus, memory, and motivation. In Cambodia, more students than ever have smartphones, making classroom distractions an everyday reality. Teachers report that even the brightest students are struggling to keep up when TikTok, games, or messaging apps take priority over lessons.

How #BeyondTheScreen Helps
The campaign combines three pillars:

• Technology
  NetBlock blocks distracting apps during class time.
• Education
  Workshops for students, parents, and teachers on healthy digital habits.
• Community
  Contests, discussions, and shared success stories that celebrate real-life growth.

Schools that join the campaign benefit from:

• Improved focus and student performance.
• Stronger parent-teacher cooperation.
• Free teacher accounts and special discounts for families.

When schools step in, children learn that screen balance is not just a rule at home, but a value for life. Joining #BeyondTheScreen means giving students the focus they need to succeed.
