The Russian Duma validates a crucial educational amendment, ending the use of smartphones in schools from December 2024.
In schools these days, the image of students absorbed in their phones has become the norm, whether they are young people or teenagers. However, Russia has just made a radical change: the ban on smartphones in primary and secondary schools.
The Duma approved an amendment to the “education law”, imposing a strict ban on communication tools, including smartphones, within educational establishments. This modification will officially come into force on December 1, 2024, marking a radical turning point in the country's educational policies.
The document was published on the official legal information portal.
In accordance with this regulation, the use of mobile phones will be strictly reserved for educational purposes or in cases of emergency. Last year, Russia already banned the use of cell phones in classrooms in primary and secondary schools, a measure aimed at preventing student distraction and maintaining their concentration on lesson content.
