French high schools rush to put Macron’s phone ban into force
- French high schools are rushing to put in place a ban on mobile phones this week as Emmanuel Macron pushes for children to spend less time in front of screens.
- Education unions warned that banning mobile phone use in lycées – where children are aged 15 to 18 – would be hard to implement quickly.
- Macron approved the high school phone ban this month after another measure he had hoped would be a key legacy, his proposed social media ban for under-15s, was knocked back as unconstitutional.
