Macron Supports Effort to Ban Cell Phones in French High Schools

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 idea, Monsieur Macron! Next, let’s tackle the real issues, like making sure croissants stay flaky and perfect! 🥐😂

    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! 😏📵

  4. Typical Macron, solving all the world’s problems one phone ban at a time! 😂 Next up, a law against texting while eating baguettes.

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

  6. 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? What a revolutionary idea! Next, maybe they’ll just outlaw texting while they’re at it. 📵😂

    Looks like Macron’s got bigger fish to fry than just banning phones in high schools—what’s next, banning thoughts? 😂 Educators in France must be thrilled to have a president who’s practically a digital-age Marie Antoinette! 📱👑

  9. 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! 🧐✍️

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

  12. Just what we need, a ban on phones in high schools – because nothing screams “progressive education” like sending kids back to the Stone Age! 📵👀
