IRELAND SCHOOLS
GO PHONE-FREE
Educators around the world are seeing the damaging effects of phones on student engagement, social development, and mental health. Yondr is proud to work with schools in Ireland to help students experience the focus, creativity, and relief that comes with a phone-free education.
A GROUNDBREAKING INITIATIVE
Yondr is proud to participate in the mobile phone storage scheme announced by Education Minister Norma Foley. The policy will help turn all post-primary schools into mobile phone-free zones in response to concerning trends in youth mental health and academic performance nationwide.

Education Minister Norma Foley
“Several principals said it has been ‘transformational’ because students were no longer glued to their phones during the school day. There was more social interaction and more sport and club activity during free time.”
