The Swedish government has decided to return to the use of physical books and analog tools in classrooms to reverse the decline in literacy levels, according to MEDIAFAX. This initiative has generated criticism from technology companies and educators, who believe it could affect students' employment prospects and the national economy.


At a high school in Nacka, final year students have started to use books and newspapers again, replacing digital platforms with printed textbooks. This change contradicts Sweden's reputation as a leader in technology, considering that, until 2015, 80% of students in public high schools had access to digital devices. The use of tablets was included in the school curriculum in 2019, as part of previous efforts to prepare students for an increasingly digital world.
