Finnish Parliament voted on Tuesday to approve a law restricting the use of mobile devices at school.

The new rules are expected to come into force after the summer break, in August .

The law does not entirely ban use of phones at school, and their use will be permitted in certain situations.

Pupils will need to get special permission from teachers to use their phones.
