Sweden's education goes of the screen and back on-paper
Lately the Sweden government has seen a decline we will talk about in the future in another article, So they started championing using pens, pencils, paper, books and notebooks in schools in an attempt to try and reverse the failing literacy rates that they believe are caused by the amount of screens being used in classes all over the nation.
They also have decided to make schools cellphone free this is particularly aimed at young teenager so they would spend their recess for playing and socialising rather than using cellphones. Here is a qoute by a student in Sweden who spoke her mind about the change;
"I now go home from school with new books and papers often," says Sophie, 18. She says one teacher "has started printing all the texts that we use during the lesson", while a digital learning platform in maths lessons has been swapped out for textbook-only teaching.
The reason why Sweden had all this technology for education was because through out the 2010s technology was becoming more common as the price for most components on computers halved every year and becoming faster it seemed reasonable to implement education for these tools and how to: stay safe online(but nowadays these teaching do not work), how to make documents, how to send an email and all those things that taught a kid to have the computer abilities that would be needed in their future. However by 2025 there have been some problems with kids having problems developing without devices due to their dependancy on them, plus the amount of easy to see and stimulating nature of typing dropping literacy rates, it's easy to see why they brought classes back to pencils and paper
Criticism
Many tech companies, teachers, scholars and other educators have critisized this change, saying that Sweden ruining the digital literacy of children and that the digital literacy is important for children's development needed for normal office jobs in their future
That is all, we may look back at the article to make an extension to see if it worked.-khaled
