Has banning phones improved performance at Dutch schools?

Cikk tartalma röviden

Two years ago, Dutch schools banned smartphones to enhance student concentration and academic performance. The government is now pushing for restrictions on social media for under-16s and a 15+ age limit for apps like Instagram and TikTok. The ban has reportedly improved focus and reduced distractions in classrooms, with many students expressing mixed feelings about it. A significant portion of Dutch youth supports social media restrictions, citing concerns over mental health and addiction. The debate continues on whether to enforce similar measures across Europe.
