    This is a fluff article but about a well signposted issue in education: tech in schools may be pushing education backwards.

    Many countries have embraced tech in schools - such as laptops for students - and big tech companies in the US have been enthusiastic about getting their tech in front of young people as they will be the consumers of the future. But despite the billions spent it seems to actually be damaging education.

    There are educationalists pushing for tech to be taken out of schools and go back to methods that actually do produce consistently good results.
