Student screen time: Finnish schools reverse policy on digital devices
Finland’s education system has implemented a reversal in its policy regarding digital devices, urging students to limit their use of phones and laptops during school hours. This shift marks a departure from the country’s previous push for digitisation in classrooms. Education experts have raised concerns that prolonged screen time is contributing to decreased attention spans among learners and could also pose significant health risks. As a result, Finnish schools are adjusting their approach to promote healthier learning environments.
