March 20, New Delhi – Poland is set to join other nations in limiting children's screen time and social media use.
Starting September 1, the country will ban mobile phones in schools for children under 16.
The move has drawn mixed reactions, with some citizens and advocacy groups calling for internet safety education alongside the ban to promote a more informed and resilient society.
Countries including the Netherlands, South Korea, and Italy have already prohibited smartphones in schools due to concerns about their effects on focus and behavior, while others are exploring restrictions on children's social media access.
