Government Introduces New Age Limits on Educational Technology In a move aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of students, Education Minister Olivia Bailey has announced plans to introduce "age or functionality restrictions" on educational technology. The exact details of these restrictions are yet to be revealed, but sources suggest they could include limits on the use of certain apps, websites, or online tools by students of different age groups.
