If you have school-aged children in Denmark you are no doubt well-acquainted with communications app Aula, which is used by students, parents and children at Danish schools for updates and messages about their school day.
According to the Moderates, who are in the Danish government, the app, which was released in 2019, has gotten out of hand.
"They've made an IT system which sucks so much oxygen out of the school and classrooms that it's a danger for our children's well-being and learning," Tax and Growth minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said in a joint interview with newspaper Berlingske alongside fellow Moderate ministers Monika Rubin and Christina Egelund.
The three ministers did not yet have a suggestion for what should replace the platform.
"More communication is not always better communication," Egelund, who is Education, Research and Digitalisation Minister, told public broadcaster DR.
"Ten thousand messages are sent via Aula per minute between 7:30 and 9am. Its gotten out of hand," she added.
The ministers said that the proposal was a reaction to Denmark's historically bad Pisa scores, reported last week, which showed that 15-year-old Danes' reading, maths and science knowledge has never been worse.
