I'm unclear if this is a real article.
It claims to be published in 2025 but it refers to 2022-2025 in the future tense.

Plus 104 million euros seems like a normal amount of money to spend updating the curriculum for an entire country. This is likely just updating the curriculum over a few years from older books to newer ones and basically unrelated to the divide between laptops and printed books.
Scandinavian countries went very hardcore digital for a while, giving all kids iPads and Laptops, and getting rid of all physical books. This sounds like a strong reversal, and I hope the other Scandinavian countries will learn some lessons from this.
