A state is introducing daily caps on how long students spend learning with screens and online, as schools move back to more traditional “basics” in an effort to improve educational outcomes.
The change applies to student learning time that would otherwise be spent on digital and online activities during the school day. PerthNow and The West Australian both describe the policy as a response to concerns about the amount of screen-based learning and its effect on outcomes. Both outlets frame the measure as part of a broader push to rebalance classroom time toward non-digital learning activities.
While both reports agree on the core decision—setting daily limits on screen and online learning—neither source provides additional detail in the supplied text on the cap amounts, how compliance is measured, which year levels are affected, or when the policy takes effect. The focus across coverage is on the intent to lift learning results through reduced daily reliance on screens.
