The law introduces a ban on using mobile phones and other electronic devices by primary school students and kindergarten children during classes. Schools can organize storage places for these devices, and non-compliance may result in penalties. Parents are required to cooperate with the school in enforcing these rules.
Key points
From September 1, 2026, a ban on using phones and other electronic devices by students and children during classes applies in primary schools and kindergartens.
The ban does not apply when a teacher allows device use for educational purposes, in emergencies to contact parents, or when a student has special health needs.
Schools may set up secure storage places for phones, and students must put away their device when instructed by a teacher.
Violating the ban or failing to put away the phone may result in penalties specified in the school's statute, and parents must cooperate with the school on this matter.
Schools have until December 31, 2026, to adjust their statutes to the new regulations.
