> New South Wales will limit screen use in public-school classrooms and recommend at least an hour of daily pen-and-paper learning. Individual-device use will be capped at 15 minutes a day for Kindergarten to Year 2, rising for older students. The limits are due to become mandatory in NSW schools in 2028.
