Sweden's right-wing government is removing laptops and tablets from classrooms in favor of textbooks and paper, allocating $200 million to the shift and planning a mobile phone ban for schools in 2026. The policy is framed as reversing declining literacy scores, though an OECD report released in January 2026 concluded Swedish pupils benefit on balance from digital tool access—the government is cherry-picking the evidence that supports its position. Snyder's cryptic three-word post ('The sooner the better') appears to endorse the policy without explanation, which is atypical of his usual public commentary style and provides no framing context for his audience.
