Restrictions on the use of cell phones in schools

Private schools in the Dominican Republic have begun implementing measures to restrict mobile phone use, arriving two weeks before the Ministry of Education (Minerd) deadline for educational centers to incorporate formal protocols on mobile devices. Meanwhile, public schools are undergoing consultations regarding the upcoming regulations.

The initiative marks a concerted national effort to regulate digital device usage within educational environments under the guidance of the Ministry of Education, highlighting a growing administrative push to establish structured mobile phone policies across both private and public sectors as the compliance deadline approaches.
