Starting next school year, students will have limits placed on their personal mobile devices, which officials say can harm student achievement and their mental health.
"The use of cellphones is of significant concern and additional measures should be taken to limit cellphone use in our classrooms," said Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides during a conference in Calgary on Monday.
"Students will no longer be permitted to use personal mobile devices during class time and I am further announcing that access to social media sites in schools will be restricted."
