Dutch schools to ban phones from January 2027
The Dutch government plans to ban smartphones from schools, including during breaks, to help protect children online and reduce distractions. State Secretary Willemijn Aerdts announced the "At Home or in the Vault" measure, which she hopes to start on 1 January 2027. This forms part of a broader initiative, which encompasses a joint proposal with Spain to establish a European minimum age for social media.
