New Personal Electronic Devices Policy Proposed

Education

November 27, 2024

The Provincial Government is proposing an updated Personal Electronic Devices Policy for English K-12 public schools to further support a positive teaching and learning environment for students and teachers in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Honourable Krista Lynn Howell, Minister of Education, is encouraging school communities to review the proposed policy and share feedback.

The proposed Responsible Use of Personal Electronic Devices Policy will reduce the impact of inappropriate personal electronic device usage, such as cell phones, on learning.

Under the policy:

  • Students in grades K-6 will not be permitted to have personal electronic devices in schools; and,
  • Students in grade 7 to level 4 who bring a personal electronic device to school must switch it off and store out of sight.
