Episode Details

Edinburgh is launching a full mobile phone ban in schools this fall, requiring all students to store devices in lockable pouches from the moment they arrive until they leave—except for older teens in fifth and sixth year, who may use phones during breaks or study time. The council’s $400K investment covers pouches for every student, with some schools already testing the policy successfully. Primary schools will use cabinets instead. Exemptions exist for health or family needs. The goal? Sharper focus, less social media pressure, and safer online exposure—with a review planned next year to hear directly from students.
