Danish government to announce phone ban in schools after poor PISA results
The cabinet will hold a press conference on Thursday to address the latest PISA findings, which show Danish pupils at a record low, and to unveil a proposal banning mobile phones in primary schools.
Following the release of the newest PISA assessment that placed Danish students at their lowest ever level, the government plans to brief the public on Thursday. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the decline is "deeply concerning" and outlined a plan to prohibit mobile phones and other screens in both public and private primary schools. The measure mirrors a proposal introduced by the previous administration but never passed before the election was called. The upcoming briefing will be streamed live for viewers.
