Saskatchewan bans cellphone use during classes for K-12 students from 2024-25, with exceptions for instructional purposes and special needs.

Saskatchewan has implemented a policy prohibiting cellphone use during classes for students from kindergarten to Grade 12, starting in the 2024-25 school year. Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill stated that cellphones often divert students' attention from their studies, but there will be some exceptions for high school classes involving instructional purposes and for students with medical or learning needs. The policy aligns with similar restrictions planned for Ontario and Alberta, also set to begin in the 2024-25 school year.
