The municipality is introducing the ban as a project that will run for one year from August, blocking major social media platforms on the computers used in schools, as reported by P4 Kristianstad. The decision is intended to create calmer lessons and increase work peace in the classrooms, with the goal of getting students to concentrate more on teaching, according to the same source.
