Schools In Sweden Are Returning To Textbooks

Due to growing concern around students concentration levels

Schools in Sweden are returning to textbooks 16 years after 'digitising classrooms' with tablets and computers.

It's amid growing concern around student fatigue and concentration caused by screen time.

The re-introduction of books is costing the Swedish government 104 million euro.
