The Swedish government wants to reduce the time spent by students online. The country bet on all-digital technology in schools 15 years ago.
Young Swedes are equipped from the nursery where many activities on screens, including tablets, are offered to them, including surfing the internet. In Sweden, pupils write little by hand. This uncompromising policy has not been without consequences on students' ability to concentrate, as demonstrated by The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) published in mid-May.
