Czech government plans to ban mobile phones in schools from 2027
The Czech government has submitted a bill to ban the use of mobile telephones in schools starting from September 2027, Prime Minister Andrej Babis said on Monday, joining a growing global push to limit screen time for children in the classroom.
Students in kindergartens, primary schools and lower secondary schools will no longer be able to use mobile phones at school, even during breaks. A new bill promoted by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) envisages a ban. It should come into effect in September 2027.
The new law is to ban children from using mobile phones in kindergartens and primary schools. According to the proposal submitted by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) and Education Minister Robert Plaga (ANO), it should come into effect in September 2027. And as lawyer Ondřej Preuss describes, similar restrictions are already in place in the Czech Republic. "First of all, it is a question of authority," he says of enforcing the ban.
