#Sweden goes #BackToBasics, swapping screens for books in the classroom

By Undark Magazine, April 2026

"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 #CellphoneFree throughout the country."

@DoomsdaysCW well should back to basics think about eradicating literacy to restore our incredible oral cultural memory?
