- It is partly about adaptation for the students. It is possible to change the size of text and background color, for example. There will also be less work for teachers.

Digitization was supposed to be introduced already last year, but has been delayed. The Swedish National Agency for Education is now conducting tests at randomly selected schools around Sweden.
