Why Swedish Schools Are Bringing Back Books

The Swedish government has announced plans to reintroduce physical books and emphasize traditional skills like reading and writing in schools. The move is a shift away from digital technology in education, with the goal of improving student outcomes and reducing screen time.
The Swedish government is bringing back physical books in schools. Students will learn to write by hand and use textbooks for each subject. The government has allocated $83 million for textbooks and $54 million for fiction and non-fiction books. This move is a response to declining student scores and concerns about screen time and distraction. Digital technology will not be removed entirely, but will be introduced at an older age. The goal is to establish basic skills like reading and writing before introducing digital aids.
