Recommendations on Screen Use for Primary Schools and Leisure Activities

Title (original language): Anbefalinger til brug af skærme i grundskolen / Anbefalinger til brug af skærme i fritidstilbud

This set of recommendations by the National Agency for Education and Quality (STUK) provides accessible information for schools and leisure facilities to consider when making decisions on the use of digital devices. 

STUK recommends that schools reduce the risk of pupils being distracted by mobile phones and other screens during school hours. The agency also recommends that schools pay attention to when it makes professional sense to use digital teaching aids, and that they make room for analogue learning. A new report commissioned by the National Board of Health points out that it affects children and young people's ability to concentrate and disrupts their academic performance when they use access to private screen use in teaching. And that the screens can disrupt the entire learning environment.
