C
Sweden's primary schools will be focusing more on reading, writing and maths, according to the government. And that means there will be less focus on play - based learning. From 2028, children will also begin primary school a year earlier—at the age of 6.
The country's government wants to go back to basics to make sure that all children have the basic skills they need. Swedish minister Jakob Forssmed supported and said that young students' skills are being influenced because they spend too much time on screens. The change may make the first year of primary school a little more formal(规范的). And it may also mean students will spend more time with pencils and paper, and less time with electronic tools.
But not everyone likes the idea. Some think play - based learning helps the development of young children.
Some experts say play - based learning helps children develop problem - solving skills as well as curiosity(好奇心) and creativity, which is important for children. Usually, primary school students don't learn so much knowledge from books like high school students.
Instead, they take part in activities that look and feel a lot more like playing. And in these activities, children are their own teachers. The activities might include "free play" using electronic tools, in which the teacher has a passive(被动的) role; or "teacher - led" play, with an educator guiding children in an activity. Supporters of play - based learning believe it helps develop well - rounded children.
