Pupils in France are going to be banned from taking mobile phones to school, the country’s education minister has announced.
Jean-Michel Blanquer said the ban, which the government had been considering for some time, would come into effect at the start of the new school year next September.
Mobiles are already banned from classrooms, but the new rule will bar schoolchildren from using them between lessons and during breaks.
"These days the children don't play at break time anymore, they are just all in front of their smartphones and from an educational point of view that's a problem," Mr Blanquer told Le Grand Jury TV programme on Sunday.
仏では１５歳までの生徒の学校でのスマホの使用を禁止。
休み時間もスマホばっかやっているのでそれが、問題視されていた、と。
