The Portuguese government has decided to extend the ban on smartphone use in schools to include students up to the 9th grade. The measure, which currently applies to students from 1st to 5th grade, will now apply up to the 9th grade, maintaining exceptions such as duly proven health situations. The ban will come into effect on January 1, 2027, after a period of school adaptation. Studies have shown that in spaces where mobile phones are not allowed, there is 'more socialization' and 'less indiscipline'.
