Phone ban in schools and kindergartens from September 2026

The act introduces a ban on using mobile phones and electronic devices by students in primary schools for children and kindergartens during classes. Secondary and adult schools may set their own rules. Parents will be required to cooperate with schools in developing children's digital hygiene.
Key points
Complete phone ban in primary schools for children and kindergartens – students cannot use electronic devices during classes unless a teacher agrees for educational purposes or emergencies.
Exceptions to the ban: illness, disability, threat to life or health, and when the school principal permits use of specialized equipment.
Schools may organize phone storage places – with student privacy protection, and teachers can order devices to be stored if rules are violated.
Secondary, adult and art schools independently set rules in their statutes – they may introduce bans, usage conditions, or allow phone use.
Parents obligated to cooperate with schools on enforcing bans and shaping children's responsible internet and technology use.
Schools have until December 31, 2026 to adjust statutes – existing rules apply until then, with the act taking effect on September 1, 2026.
