• There is consensus on the need to regulate the use of mobile phones in educational institutions and protect minors from inappropriate content, such as pornography.
• The State School Council backs regulation, approving a proposal to prohibit mobile phones in early and primary phases and limit their use to pedagogical purposes in secondary education.
• Incorrect use of the mobile can be a distraction and affect learning as it interrupts the process of concentration.
• Regulation should be accompanied by other measures, like tutoring and promoting social and leisure activities in free time.
• Responsible digital education also demands time and place limits for device use, both inside and outside of educational institutions.

Conclusion: New technologies are a tool for knowledge and the responsibility of ensuring they do not become a barrier falls on adults; Schools should have adequate regulation and families should establish responsible use patterns.
