Digital break
The Digital Break or Digital Pause law is a complete ban on mobile phones in the classroom. The aim is to reduce screen time and combat cyberbullying.[1]
The aim
The law aims to ensure that children can only rarely use their digital devices as learning aids with the permission of their teachers, but not at all during their time at school. The Digital Break gets students used to being without their phones all day and teaching them to live differently even during recess instead of always being on their phones.[2][3]
History
Some schools in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland and Hungary have started to restrict the use of mobile phones.[4][when?]
