UK Conservatives propose banning student smartphone use during school hours in England.

The UK Conservative Party is proposing an amendment to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill to ban the use of smartphones and other devices by students during school hours in England. If passed, all schools would need to implement a policy prohibiting device use from the first to the last lesson of the day, with some flexibility for sixth forms and boarding schools. While the Labour government does not plan to legislate on this issue, the Department for Education notes that schools already have the authority to create their own mobile phone policies.
