The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalised approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.

    Seriously, who gives a shit what alleged self-important experts say? The consensus in education shifts all the time and the studies corroborating preconceived notions are mostly hot garbage. It’s incredible how little tangible evidence there exists.

      Let’s listen to some politicians then instead, who are having zero insight and are virtue signalling old=better. Sounds great, I’ll get my stick to beat the stupid out of these kids.

        Of course old isn’t always better. Who said so? I said above that the most important aspect is that teachers care and no amount of money can compensate for a lack of motivated teachers.

          You were ranting about “self-important” experts. You didn’t even mention money or motivation.

      It’s not like researches into cognitive sciences or how humans learn are well funded. It’s not a sexy field, like cancer treatment, or one that attracts flashy billionaires with PR problems, like space travel.
