A States-commissioned survey will explore how pupils under 16 use their smartphones in schools.
Parents, students and staff views on school phone policies currently in place will be taken into account, to help make future decisions.
The survey will look at both positive and negative factors, with responses kept anonymous. The results are expected to be published in the summer by the University of the West of England, Bristol, which is conducting the survey.
Education, Sport and Culture President Paul Montague told the States in February that his committee wanted island schools to be “smartphone-free“, but that the survey would be open to all thoughts on device habits and use.
