On December 18, 2024, the Brazilian Senate approved a bill that prohibits the use of cell phones in schools across the country. The legislation, known as Project Law No. 4.932/2024, restricts the use of mobile devices in both public and private educational institutions, allowing their use only for specific purposes such as educational, accessibility, or safety reasons. The bill had previously passed through the Chamber of Deputies and was approved in a decisive vote by the Senate. Following the Senate's approval, the bill is set to be sent to President Lula for sanction.
