Education Secretary Màiri McAllan is urging schools to ban phones in classrooms for the upcoming year, even as final legislation is still being drafted. A new national guidance set for release by June will let schools choose whether to restrict phones just in class or across the whole day—with exceptions for medical, safety, or care needs. This follows past efforts and real-world examples like Glasgow’s King’s Park Secondary, where students admit phones can be distracting but vital for safety. The government’s broader strategy includes updating guidance, pushing for UK-wide social media bans for under-16s, and launching a public safety campaign—all aimed at creating calmer, healthier learning spaces.
