National party promises to restrict screen time for young students

The National party has announced a plan to limit digital screen time in primary schools and early childhood centres across the country. The proposed policy aims to reduce the use of digital devices during early learning and foundational school years. Party leaders stated that this measure is designed to focus attention on core learning subjects like reading, writing, and math without digital distractions. The new rule would apply to young children in classrooms and daycare facilities. Implementation details and timelines for the rollout of this restriction will be shared by party representatives in the coming weeks as part of their broader education policy updates.
