Tens of thousands of pupils in France are going through a slightly different return to school this autumn, deprived of their mobile phones.
At 180 "colleges", the middle schools French children attend between the ages of 11 and 15, a scheme is being trialed to ban the use of mobile phones during the entire school day. |
The trial of the "pause numerique" ("digital pause"), which encompasses more than 50,000 pupils, is being implemented ahead of a possible plan to enforce it nationwide from 2025.
