Schools are being told to regulate device use during class, not ban it outright, while strengthening students' digital literacy.
Only 19 schools join the first wave, while the rest open through Aug. 31 as dorms, utilities and facilities are still being readied.
Medan is among the first 19 schools in a national rollout, with a 19-day MPLS period before matriculation and full boarding.
Schools will use the 2026 Friendly MPLS Reference Book, which includes sample activities and anti-drug and anti-gambling material.
