Dimitar Vlahov school in Stip bans mobile phones and unhealthy snacks

The Dimitar Vlahov primary school in Stip has implemented a ban on mobile phones and unhealthy snacks to improve student focus and health. The decision was reached through collaboration between the school’s Teachers’ Council, the School Board, and the Parents’ Council.

Under the new rules, students are prohibited from bringing items such as potato chips, puffed corn snacks, or artificially colored juices onto the premises. To promote better nutrition, the school provides fresh fruit three times a week and has developed a menu featuring yogurt and pastries in coordination with local bakeries. Permitted drinks are restricted to water, milk, and homemade juices.

An exception to the mobile phone ban exists for a small number of students who need a device for their commute. These phones must be turned off, lack internet connectivity, and be surrendered to the class teacher immediately upon arrival at the school.
