Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Cai Yinzhou on screen detox for children and families
While the government has banned smartphone usage in secondary schools, excessive screen time outside school hours remain a challenge, especially for children from low-income families, said MP Cai Yinzhou in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5). He remarked that as Singapore pushes for a reduction of children's exposure to screens in schools and for age-appropriate content, it is crucial that home environments are not left behind.
