Singapore is set to strengthen its rules on smartphone use in schools, aiming to reduce distractions and improve students’ focus on learning. Under the new measures, students will face stricter limits on when and where they can use their phones during school hours.
Officials say the move is part of a broader effort to promote better study habits, mental well-being, and classroom engagement. Schools will also introduce alternative ways for students to stay connected, such as supervised digital access for learning purposes.
Parents and teachers have welcomed the initiative, noting that excessive phone use can affect concentration, sleep, and overall academic performance. Experts believe the new rules could help students develop healthier technology habits from an early age.
The government plans to monitor the implementation closely and make adjustments as needed to ensure the policy is effective without overly restricting necessary digital access.
