      In 2023, the Swedish government announced that the country’s schools would be going back to basics, emphasizing skills such as reading and writing, particularly in early grades.

      After mostly being sidelined, physical books are now being reintroduced into classrooms, and students are learning to write the old-fashioned way: by hand, with a pencil or pen, on sheets of paper. The Swedish government also plans to make schools cellphone-free throughout the country.

      Educational authorities have been investing heavily. Last year alone, the education ministry allocated $83 million to purchase textbooks and teachers’ guides. In a country with about 11 million people, the aim is for every student to have a physical textbook for each subject. The government also put $54 million towards the purchase of fiction and non-fiction books for students.

      These moves represent a dramatic pivot from previous decades, during which Sweden—and many other nations—moved away from physical books in favor of tablets and digital resources in an effort to prepare students for life in an online world.

      Kind of ironic that in trying to modernize education, we may have made it harder for kids to focus on the fundamentals.

      Makes sense now that we’re phasing out all finite resources

      So nice to hear. 

      Stop giving our kid’s life to Google for free.

      A while ago I saw an article about some teachers here who have reintroduced traditional textbooks.

      Apparently classes have calmed down considerably.

      Glad to hear that, I hope other countries follow suit.
      In my experience, using computers for everything in school is incredibly frustrating. they are expensive, easy to break, aren’t always available, many teachers don’t take the time to learn how to use them, and students can easily get around any blocks to use them for games.
