One in 5 Swedish Kids "Never Reads a Book at School"

News from Sweden :

Every fifth school pupil in grades 7-9 says that they never read books in school. Among boys the figure is higher, with 25% claiming never to read a book at school, according to research carried out by the National Union of Teachers.

The majority read one to three books per year in school, roughly the same as in their free time.

Those who don't read much probably aren't going to question big government.
