Sweden is committing more than €100 million to a sweeping classroom overhaul: replacing tablets and screens with traditional printed textbooks to help reverse falling student performance and sharpen focus.

After more than a decade of embracing digital-first education, Swedish authorities are now pivoting back to paper-based learning. Official data and recent studies cited by the Ministry of Education show that prolonged screen use in class has been linked to shorter attention spans, weaker reading comprehension, and reduced critical-thinking abilities.

Research consistently finds that reading on illuminated screens requires greater mental effort and invites more distractions compared to the calm, linear experience of physical books—factors believed to have contributed to declining academic outcomes in recent years.

Under the new plan, every student will receive printed textbooks for all core subjects, restoring books as the central learning tool. Digital devices and online resources will remain available as supportive tools, but they will no longer dominate daily instruction.

This bold €100+ million investment signals Sweden’s leadership in rethinking the role of technology in education. It underscores a broader, growing recognition worldwide: while screens provide speed and access, the hands-on, distraction-free engagement of physical books supports deeper concentration, stronger memory retention, and more effective long-term learning.

By choosing paper over pixels, Sweden is charting a path toward a more balanced, evidence-informed classroom future—one that puts proven pedagogical principles ahead of unchecked digital trends.

Unpopular opinion:

>90% of developers don't know(or understand why) to learn maths, not for graphics, not for diagrams, not for conceptualizing the core designs, not for representing the best communication

They don't want to learn nor use math for geometry and graphics

@njaywilliams I'd say syntax vs grammar, notions of semantics and pragmatics, short intro to phonetics-phonology-Morphologie, a little on CompLingu psycholinguistics and corpus linguistics. This is enough to get a taste of the field. SLA will have a course in its own,so I’d not include it.

If you're working on a complex Python project, a virtual environment can be really useful.

It lets you isolate your dev environment for a particular project.

In this guide @stephensanwo shows you how to set up virtualenv in Python (& why it's helpful).

Exactly 👍👍 “We should use HTML elements not because how they look. We should use them for what they represent. And what functionality they should trigger in a browser.” Well said… https://t.co/GUZVAzwKCv
