Monaco's Directorate of National Education introduced AI training for pupils alongside a digital curfew and 'NoPhone' policy for the 2025/2026 school year, positioning AI literacy as a companion to new wellbeing rules rather than a measured pilot.

Context

At a 3 September 2025 press conference opening the school year, Monaco's Government Advisor for the Interior and the Director of National Education, Youth and Sport presented AI training for students as a priority for the 2025/2026 school year, paired with measures to protect a 'calm school climate'.

Objectives

Help students 'understand and master' AI tools, alongside addressing AI's disruptive effect on traditional coursework and evaluation.

Activities

AI training was introduced alongside a digital curfew restricting secondary students' use of state-issued computers between 21:30 and 07:00, and a 'NoPhone' policy limiting mobile-phone use in schools.

Conclusions

The announcement is a policy commitment, not yet a documented classroom programme: no curriculum details, participation numbers, teacher-training data, or learning outcomes have been published, and independent press coverage centres on the wellbeing/screen-time rules more than on the AI-literacy content itself.
