Japan's education ministry has drafted a plan to keep textbooks paper-centred through the 2030 school year, ruling out full digitalisation for pupils in fourth grade of elementary school and below. The draft reflects concerns that screens may hinder young children's reading comprehension, and points to a 'return to paper' trend in digitally advanced countries as further backing for the decision.
Why now: The ministry's draft plan on the format of school textbooks has just been reported, sparking debate over screens versus paper for young learners.
