Latin American school mobile phone regulations

Overview

Various regions in Latin America are implementing regulations to manage mobile phone use in educational settings. In Mexico, the state of Sinaloa unanimously approved reforms to allow electronic devices only for pedagogical purposes or emergencies under teacher supervision. Similar legislative actions have occurred in Morelos, and discussions regarding specific usage windows have emerged in Bogotá.

In Veracruz, Governor Rocío Nahle García has proposed restrictions specifically targeting primary and secondary schools to discourage the use of mobile devices for entertainment. This proposal seeks to differentiate between academic technology and non-academic distractions, potentially allowing tablets for high school students in certain systems. These regional efforts align with broader national discussions in Mexico regarding the impact of screen exposure on student health and academic focus.
