👊 Det har varit en tuff kamp & hårt arbete att belysa & få gehör för digitaliseringens baksidor bland barn sen vi startade 2017. Då hade ”Nationell digitaliseringsstrategi för skolväsendet” precis klubbats igenom från förskola och uppåt, utan förebyggande riskbedömningar.
👊 Men tack vare samlad kraft från tusentals föräldrar, ungdomar, experter, professionen runt barn, tar vi steg för steg åt rätt håll, tillsammans med politiker som har lyssnat och agerat!
👊 Varmt tack igen för ert gehör och viktiga ledarskap med detta under senaste mandatperioden: socialminister Jakob Forssmed (f.d. skolminister) gymnasie-, högskole- och forskningsminister Lotta Edholm & jämställdhetsminister Nina Larsson m.fl!

Repost: Jonathan Haidt Sweden is one of the most tech-forward nations in Europe. They embraced smartphones and tablets for children and ed tech in schools early and with full confidence — like many of us had — that these technologies would be great for children.
But after a crushing PISA assessment in 2022, with the finding that the students with the highest digital media use for things other than learning, both at school and at home, performed the worst, Sweden reversed course on kids and screens, including ed tech.
This is an example that I hope other nations will copy. is also now cutting back on excessive screen time, pulling tablets and laptops from early years, and reinvesting in physical, printed books and handwriting.
Both Sweden and Norway, along with over two dozen countries, also considering a minimum age of 15 or 16 for social media accounts.
We are at a tipping point — and parents have had a lot to do with this, in Sweden and other countries. If you’ve spoken to one other parent (or your school board or your legislators) about this, you have played a part in this international movement.
