📢 ANNOUNCEMENT | Education Minister Paul Givan has launched a public consultation on legislative proposals to support mobile phone-free schools, alongside strengthened guidance which makes clear that schools should be phone-free.

This follows the publication of an independent evaluation by King's College London of the Department's Mobile Phone-Free Schools Pilot, which found that restricting access to smartphones during the school day helped create calmer, safer and more focused learning environments.
