Ban on Mobile Phone Use in Primary Schools and Digital Addiction Prevention
New regulations introduce a mandatory ban on mobile phone and other communication device use by primary school students on school premises. Secondary schools may implement a similar ban. The aim is to improve children's mental and physical health, social skills, and strengthen internet addiction prevention in school curricula.
Key points
Primary school students will be prohibited from using mobile phones and other remote communication devices on school grounds, unless the school's statute provides for exceptions (e.g., for lesson purposes).
Primary school statutes must be amended within 3 months of the law's entry into force to introduce this ban and any exceptions.
Secondary schools and other educational institutions may, but are not required to, introduce a similar ban, but must make a decision on this within 3 months.
School educational and preventive programs will need to include risks associated with internet use and digital addiction prevention.
Parent councils and student self-governments will provide opinions on statute changes regarding the ban, but their opinion will not be binding.
