中小學禁止使用行動載具之法律分析

Legal Analysis on Banning the Use of Mobile Devices in Schools

針對使用手機等行動載具對學生的負面影響，近期教育部開始研議，要禁止於校園中使用行動載具。一般性禁止學生於校園中使用行動載具，或許在現實上有其正當性，但目的不能使手段正當。在我國的憲法框架下，由於手機等行動載具的使用，既然已經成為現代人生活中所不可或缺，甚至是極為重要的一環，對之限制即難謂無基本權侵害。若要剝奪使用相關裝置的自由，亦屬於對於學生基本權的限制，必須要有立法者的授權，不可由教育部逕以修改「校園行動載具使用原則」等行政規則的方式為之。

In response to the negative impact of the use of mobile phones and other devices on students, the Ministry of Education has recently begun to discuss banning the use of mobile devices on campus. A general ban on students using mobile devices on campus may be justified in practice. But the end does not justify the means. Due to the use of mobile phones and other mobile devices, it has become an indispensable and even extremely important part of modern people's lives. Therefore, within the constitutional framework, restrictions on the use of mobile devices are an infringement of fundamental rights. For the same reason, depriving students of their freedom to use mobile devices is also a restriction on students’basic rights and must be authorized by legislators. It cannot be done by the Ministry of Education by amending administrative directions.
