Overview
- Arzobispado de Mendoza schools will restrict student phone use across their network, framing the step as a limit for learning rather than a blanket ban.
- In early and primary grades phones will stay off-limits during the school day, while secondary students will hand in devices at entry for secure, labeled storage and later pickup.
- Teachers may allow phones only for planned lessons, including apps or AI tools, and schools urge families to avoid sending high‑value devices since custody does not cover unidentified phones or data loss.
- Rules set graduated penalties for breaking the policy, and students who need to reach home will use school communication channels rather than personal devices.
- Nuevo León approved a new Education Law that regulates phones, tablets and the digital content used in class without a total ban, and the state congress created a special commission to track how the rules are carried out.
