The State Duma has passed laws banning the use of smartphones in schools.
Their use is permitted only for educational purposes and in emergency situations involving limited danger to life or health.
In order to create favorable conditions for teachers to conduct training sessions during the implementation of basic general education programs, it is stipulated that during their implementation the use of communication means for students is not prohibited.
With the exception of the components of the educational program, you should directly refer to electronic resources, as well as situations related to factors of danger to the life or health of students that are created by the educational organization. The implementation of this provision will allow minimizing distraction factors for students during training sessions.
