Latvian lawmakers have approved a ban on cellphones for elementary students during school hours, effective next year. Proposed by opposition MP Ceslavs Batna, the measure has backing from the ruling coalition, teachers' unions, and education leaders. This aligns with UNESCO's recommendations for managing technology in education, echoing similar bans in countries like the Netherlands and Italy. Schools must establish usage rules by May 31, 2025.
