It’s just a minister talking in parliament. No new policy or law yet. Still we should take note that British education minister told parliament that schools across the U.K. should start teaching “mindfulness” as a “normal part of the school day”. Edward Timpson warned that “children cannot unplug from their online world, and that is changing the shape of many of their relationships and the pressures that they come under at a much more tender age”. More ministers should speak like that.
