A statutory ban on using smartphones in Poland's elementary schools came into effect on September 1st, covering lessons, breaks, and educational activities outside the school grounds. ^[1] Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hung, Head of Training at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, stated that universities must update curricula to include AI, emphasizing interdisciplinary skills and digital literacy. ^[2] The 2026 decree (Thông tư số 54/2026/TTBGDĐT) mandates AI integration into all university programs, requiring institutions to update training standards, ensure data sovereignty, and develop Vietnamese-language educational resources. ^[3] The Ministry of Education stated that AI should be embedded across all academic disciplines, not treated as a standalone subject, to ensure students develop technological literacy regardless of their field. ^[4] OŠ 'Branislav Petrović' in Slatine, Serbia, admitted only one class of 18 first-graders this year, a significant decrease from previous years. ^[5] The Superior Council of Sucre University convened an emergency session scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st, at 2:30 PM in the administrative block meeting room. ^[6] Article 98b, paragraph 4 of the Polish Education Law grants teachers the right to order students to store devices but explicitly forbids them from physically removing phones or using force. ^[7] Robert Gałęski, a lawyer from the Lexbridge law firm, stated that schools are unsure how to practically enforce the new law because the Ministry of Education did not provide specific implementation tools. ^[8] The new regulations do not prohibit students from bringing smartphones to school, creating a distinction between possession and usage. ^[9] Professor Do Van Hung emphasized that universities should focus on building AI governance frameworks rather than merely controlling AI use, including guidelines for ethical research and data protection. ^[10] Director Lazar Čikiriz stated that the school previously operated four branch schools but currently has none. ^[11] The total number of students at OŠ 'Branislav Petrović' is currently 212, which the director considers low given the school's excellent facilities. ^[12]
