We were sort of the pioneers in terms of digitalisation of schools, and I think everybody just followed us.
They were like, oh, this works so well in Sweden, we should do it as well.
We jumped on that train very fast, and now more and more people realise that we should not have done that.
Sweden is one of the most tech-savvy countries on the planet.
And in schools, laptops or tablets for every student have been the norm for more than a decade.
But now, the country's changing track.
I'm Maddy Savage.
I'm originally from the UK and I moved to the Swedish capital in 2014 at a time of rapid digitalisation.
I remember money transfer apps were already mainstream.
There was fast Wi-Fi on the bus from the airport.
I was shocked you could even submit your tax return on a smartphone.
In this programme, I 'll be sharing the story of how Sweden's school system became part of that digital trend
and why the country's government is now unravelling its education policies and bringing books back to the classroom.
