Teachers, educators and parents decide for themselves how long (to what age) an educational institution can remain screen-free. Those responsible for teaching must be able to determine the medium they use, whether they enlist digital media and to what purpose it is put. To achieve this, the right to have screen-free day care institutions, kindergartens and primary schools is essential. Educational policy needs to abandon its fixation on wall-to-wall digitalisation and permit the use of creative alternatives by those whose primary concern is to give children real-world educational learning experiences.
