Ringtone creation added to school curriculum

The Ministry Of Sound is backing a PhonepayPlus programme that offers schools lessons in creating ringtones, with free downloads and lesson plans provided.

Presumably this is being done just to piss off Daily Mail readers, yes? The Ministry Of Sound is backing a new scheme that will see ringtone creation put onto the school curriculum. The ringtone lessons are part of a programme being proposed to schools by premium phone line regulator PhonepayPlus, which hopes to educate people about the ins and outs of premium-rate phone services. More the music ones than the adult ones, I assume. Ministry will provide free downloads and lesson plans to help the kids develop their own ringtones. One teacher, Assistant Head of Sixth Form at Business Academy in Bexley, Dominic Evans, told the Register: "The kids are really engaged and love using the technology to create their own personal ringtones. We have to drag them away when the bell rings".
