Education Minister Simona Mohamsson invited all political parties to a meeting aimed at addressing the increasing concerns over students' screen time, especially in light of the upcoming ban on mobile phones in primary schools. The meeting, however, was met with skepticism, particularly from Isabell Mixter, the Left Party's education spokesperson, who described the event as unnecessary since the parties had already reached a consensus on the issue.

Mixter pointed out that the discussion seemed like a formal gathering where all participants—belonging to different parties—agreed on the problems posed by excessive mobile phone usage among children. She criticized the government's lack of new proposals during this meeting, arguing they merely reiterated existing plans which include the collection of all mobile phones from students starting this fall.

This critique comes against the backdrop of a significant policy shift as Sweden moves towards a total ban of mobile devices in primary schools. The government's preemptive measures indicate a growing recognition of the issues associated with screen time, yet the meeting's redundancy raises questions about the effectiveness of political discourse and collaboration when solutions are already in place.
