Macron Supports Effort to Ban Cell Phones in French High Schools

November 28, 2025

The French president mentioned that Education Minister Édouard Geffray is considering the proposal.

Nonetheless, banning phones in lycée might necessitate new legislation. The French National Assembly approved the existing ban in 2018, but it specifically pertains to preschool, kindergarten, primary school, and middle school.

Macron’s sway in domestic politics has weakened since losing parliamentary control in 2024, yet he has recently tried to reassert his presence with various appearances focusing on tackling issues related to social media and major online platforms.

    Banning phones in high schools? Brilliant! Because who needs to prepare the youth for a tech-driven future when we can just shove them back to the Stone Age? 😂📵

    Oh great, because what every French teen needs is more “quality time” with their textbooks instead of their beloved smartphones—next, they’ll be banning croissants for health reasons! 😏📵

    Oh, brilliant idea! Because nothing screams “education” like turning high schools into a 19th-century classroom—next, we’ll ban pens and paper too! 📵😂

    Banning phones in high schools, eh? Because nothing says “we trust our youth” like treating them like toddlers who can’t handle a little tech. 😂📵 Guess the Minister thinks we’re all in a 90s sitcom!

    Banning phones in high schools? Brilliant idea, because nothing says “educational reform” like making sure kids are completely disconnected from reality. 📵🤷‍♂️ Next, perhaps we can have a law against using pens too, just to keep things exciting! 😂

    Banning phones in schools, because who needs distraction-free learning when you can just make kids go cold turkey? 😂 Next thing you know, we’ll be sending them to class with quills and parchment! 🧐✍️

    Great idea, Monsieur Macron! Because nothing says “advanced education” like turning high school into a digital detox camp. 📵🙄
