Starting Fall 2025, Quebec will implement a province-wide ban on cellphones and personal electronic devices in all public primary and secondary schools. This policy aims to improve student focus, wellbeing, and mental health by reducing distractions, digital dependency, and exposure to harmful online content. Research highlights links between excessive screen time and anxiety, depression, sleep loss, and reduced social skills. The ban is designed to foster better academic engagement, emotional stability, and healthier communication habits, supported by clear school policies and community involvement.
