Parliament Adopts Law Restricting the Use of Mobile Phones in Schools [Video]

Parliament recently voted and passed a resolution to restrict digital devices in schools.

“Although it did not receive enough attention due to the election assessment and the European Championship, on June 10 we voted on a very important law in parliament on the restriction of digital devices in schools,” Magyar Nemzet quotes István Hollik, government party MP, as saying.

He explained in a video uploaded to his social media page:

“As a father, I also see that one of the most difficult issues in raising children is regulating the use of gadgets at home. We have strict rules at home to protect our children, therefore I deeply agree that mobile phone use at school should be restricted, because that is where children are most often.”

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.
