On Monday, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that cell phones and tablets will be banned in primary and secondary schools starting in October. Education Minister Mario Delgado stated that federal and state education authorities had reached an agreement for this nationwide ban, which is set to take effect after 30 days.
High schools will have their own guidelines for device use. Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of the debate on the impact of screens and social media on young people's well-being. The ban comes after she met with Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos on Saturday, following a meeting in Ciudad Juárez. Sheinbaum reminded Campos of an ongoing investigation by Mexico's Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) into alleged CIA involvement in a drug lab raid in Chihuahua five months ago.
Campos and Sheinbaum acknowledged the need for improved communication in security matters but defended their respective positions.
