Sweden is to implement a nationwide mobile phone ban in all schools in an attempt to improve security and study conditions for students.
From the next school year, starting in autumn 2026, it will be compulsory for all schools and after-school clubs to collect students’ phones and hold them until the end of the day.
The new rule, which will affect children between the ages of seven and 16, is part of a package of proposed measures announced by the government on Tuesday.
