Since the widespread use of digital tools, the country has seen an increase in reading difficulties among young students. The rate of 10-year-olds who have difficulty reading has increased by 7% in five years, according to recent studies.

This alarming observation has led the authorities to rethink their pedagogical approach.
The Swedish government has therefore allocated around €58 million to the purchase of textbooks so that every pupil will now receive one book per subject. This decision has been the subject of much debate, but seems necessary to correct the course of the national education system.

This event in Sweden comes at a time when many countries, including France, are looking for a good balance between traditional education and digital tools.

Although digital technology is widely praised for its pedagogical benefits, the Swedish experience underscores the importance of thoughtful and measured integration of technology into the classroom.

As Sweden tries to remedy the situation, the debate rages across Europe on how best to integrate digital technologies into education.
