PT Deputy Proposes School-Defined Cellphone Rules for Mexican Classrooms

Consultations with educators, families, civil groups plus tech platforms will shape a guidance-first approach.

Overview

  • Deputy Diana Karina Barreras filed an initiative urging the SEP to back rules set by each school community through consensus.
  • The plan rejects blanket bans, presenting mobile devices as tools for learning when use is guided and purposeful.
  • The proposal adds pedagogical materials, teacher training in digital education, and family outreach to foster healthier screen habits.
  • Discussions in the coming weeks will include teachers, school supervisors, child-protection groups, and platforms such as TikTok, Fundación PAS and Tejiendo Redes Infancia.
  • Legislative efforts remain in an early, consultative phase with no nationwide policy enacted to date.
