Trial Ban on Mobile Phones in French Middle Schools
September 4, 2024
France has initiated a trial ban on mobile phones in 200 middle schools, aiming to reduce students' screen time and combat cyberbullying. If successful, the ban will be extended to all schools by 2025. In Cyprus, discussions are underway regarding amendments to regulations to also prohibit mobile use during breaks, where most issues seem to arise. This measure has been positively received by both school staff and students.
