Children in France will no longer be able to bring smartphones and smart devices into schools starting from September 2018. Lawmakers decided the ban will apply to schoolchildren aged between 3 and 15 while high schools will be given the choice to assume the ban. The new rules come after a series of terrorist attacks that have left more than 230 people dead since 2015.
