Children will be taught how to spot extremist content and misinformation online under planned changes to the school curriculum, the education secretary said.
Bridget Phillipson said she was launching a review of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools to embed critical thinking across multiple subjects and arm children against “putrid conspiracy theories”.
One example may include pupils analysing newspaper articles in English lessons in a way that would help differentiate fabricated stories from true reporting.
In computer lessons, they could be taught how to spot fake news websites by their design, and maths lessons may include analysing statistics in context.
I’m not sure you mean intelligence and wisdom.
Intelligence is the capability to apply your brain to problems. Wisdom is the lessons you learn through experience.
Maybe “knowledge Vs wisdom” is a better way of putting it.
Fair point
