/ DANGDI / DANGDI / DANGDI /Danish parents may soon see changes in school communication.
Three government ministers want to scrap the popular Aula app.
Aula is the main platform for public schools and daycares.
Parents and teachers use it daily for notices and messages.
Ministers from the Moderates party say the app creates stress.
Jakob Engel-Schmidt said the app hurts children's learning and well-being.
Monika Rubin noted that parents send 10,000 messages per minute every morning.
This heavy traffic occurs between 7:30 and 9:00 AM.
Christina Egelund stated that answering parents is not a core school task.
The app was introduced in 2019 to replace Skoleintra.
The proposal follows lower student scores in the latest PISA study.
The ministers have not suggested a replacement system yet.
Other political parties express doubt about removing the app.
Nanna Bonde from the Socialist People's Party suggests setting guidelines instead.
The CPH Post reported these political discussions.
