Ontario's Education Minister Paul Calandra announced plans to consider a ban on social media and cellphones in schools, reflecting a consensus among education ministers across Canada that such access is not beneficial for students. During a news conference in southwest Ontario, Calandra emphasized the need for stricter regulations, potentially implementing an outright ban on cellphones on school properties, with some medical exemptions. This move follows similar actions by Manitoba, where Premier Wab Kinew's government plans to restrict social media accounts and AI chatbots for children in classrooms. Additionally, federal Culture Minister Marc Miller indicated that the government is seriously contemplating laws to set age limits on social media usage, similar to measures taken in Australia. These initiatives aim to create a more focused and less distracting learning environment for students.
