Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra is exploring a social media ban in schools, aligning with other education ministers who believe access to phones and social media is detrimental. The province aims to collaborate with the federal government on a ban for children under a certain age. Calandra is also contemplating an outright ban on cellphones in schools, with medical exemptions, seeking to establish stricter rules than those in Manitoba, which recently announced a similar ban on social media use in classrooms.
