United KingdomFrench high schools are preparing to implement a ban on mobile phone use starting in September, as part of President Emmanuel Macron's initiative to reduce screen time among adolescents. Education unions argue that enforcing the ban will be difficult due to the need for schools to revise their internal regulations, consult with students, and address practical challenges like reliance on smartphones for daily school functions. Macron previously attempted to introduce a social media ban for under-15s but faced legal setbacks, prompting efforts to rewrite the legislation. The new phone ban targets students aged 15 to 18, with concerns raised about potential security risks and the need for student input in decision-making.

It does not overtly favor Macron's policies over those of the unions, nor does it take a clear ideological position. The framing remains balanced
