Summary
Victoria’s bold new education policy caps classroom screen time at two hours per day starting 2027, aiming to revive hands-on learning, teacher-led instruction, and student engagement—while also limiting younger kids’ device use. Educators applaud the reset from laptop dominance, though implementation questions linger. Exceptions exist for students with disabilities or tech-dependent courses, building on Victoria’s existing smartphone ban now adopted nationwide. The government touts this as aligning with global best practices, prioritizing student development over tech-driven distraction.
