Summary
Edinburgh’s schools are set to enforce a strict phone ban—locking devices away all day, except for medical reasons—to keep teens focused, but a twist is brewing: older pupils in their final years might get special permission to use phones during breaks or study time, recognizing their maturity and need for research tools. The council plans to review the policy after nine months, leaving room for flexibility while aiming to get the core rule right first.
