New York City students are starting the school year under new policies aimed at balancing technology use and early education. Schools have implemented a ban on artificial intelligence tools in classrooms while introducing stricter limits on screen time for younger students. Additionally, the city is expanding access to its free pre-kindergarten program, now offering two years of tuition-free early learning. These measures reflect broader efforts to address digital distractions and prioritize foundational learning in public education.
