Thank you to IEC for all the hard work throughout my study application journey. Also, special thank you to Jasmine for being so patient and supportive, guiding me step by step from choosing my course to the visa application process. I’m really happy that my goal of studying in Australia has finally come true!

Sweden is going back to books and pencils in schools. Here's why that matters.
After going all-in on tablets and screens in classrooms, Sweden noticed something troubling: reading comprehension dropped. Attention spans shortened. Basic skills suffered.
So they changed course.
Now the Swedish government is funding physical textbooks again. Teachers are bringing back handwritten notes and actual encyclopedias. Tablets aren't banned—but they're no longer the star of the show.
The research backs it up: kids understand and retain information better when they read it on paper.
It's not anti-technology. It's pro-balance.
Maybe there's a lesson here for the rest of us. 📚
