The Mexican federal government is preparing a legislative initiative to regulate the use of mobile phones and other digital devices in schools across the country.
President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration is leading the effort, which aims to establish clear boundaries for technology in educational settings.
Before the proposal is formally presented, officials plan to hold a series of forums with teachers, parents, and specialists to ensure the final framework is grounded in scientific evidence.
The move reflects a growing consensus among policymakers that unregulated screen time in classrooms can disrupt learning and impact student well-being.
By involving educators and families in the drafting process, the government seeks to create a balanced approach that acknowledges the educational value of technology while mitigating its potential distractions.
The initiative is expected to address not only smartphones but also tablets and other digital tools commonly found in modern classrooms.
