june 10 2023 In the age of Fortnite, most of what we do is now on a screen. Whether it's checking Twitter, watching Netflix, or even doing homework. And that's had quite a drastic effect in the United Kingdom, where teachers are now installing digital clocks in exam rooms because their children are having a difficult time reading analogue clocks and knowing how much time they have left during stressful exams.
Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary at the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), told The Telegraph that students below the age of 18 have become accustomed to using digital devices, and as such, a digital clock.
Stephanie Keenan, head of English at Ruislip High School in north-west London, told The Telegraph that her school was one of many to switch their clocks. Cheryl Quine, a head of department at Cockermouth School and chair of the West Cumbria Network, said they did the same “when some [students] couldn’t read the exam room clock".
Although reading clock faces is taught in school, Trobe said that many students still don't fully understand them by the time they reach high school.
