Brazil signs bill banning phones in schools

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed a bill restricting the use of phones in school, following a global trend for such restrictions.

The move will affect students in primary and secondary schools across the South American country starting in February. It provides a legal framework to ensure that students can only use such devices in cases of emergency and danger, for educational purposes, or if they have disabilities and require them.

Many parents and students also approved of the measure. A survey published in October by Brazilian pollster Datafolha said nearly two-thirds of respondents supported banning the use of smartphones by children and teenagers in schools. More than three-quarters said the devices were doing more harm than good to their children.

A growing number of parents around the world are concerned that smartphone use by young children is endangering their safety and mental health.

A report published in September by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, said that one in four countries has already restricted the use of such devices in schools./ CNA
