The Government of New Brunswick announced a provincial policy banning elementary students from using personal mobile devices during the school day starting in September, with restrictions expanding to high school students in February under Education Minister Claire Johnson. Additionally, social media websites will be blocked on school devices and internet networks, though students will still be permitted to use personal laptops and tablets for educational purposes.
