Children to be taught how to spot extremist content and fake news online

Children to be taught how to spot extremist content and fake news online

Education Secretary launches review of curriculum in primary and secondary schools in England aimed at teaching critical thinking

The education secretary has said that children in England will be taught how to spot extremist content and misinformation online under planned changes to the school curriculum.

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 analyzing 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 analyzing statistics in context.

Phillipson, the Labour MP for Houghton and Sunderland South, told the Sunday Telegraph: "It's more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to challenge what they see online.

"That's why our curriculum review will develop plans to embed critical skills in lessons to arm our children against the disinformation, fake news and putrid conspiracy theories rampant on social media. Our renewed curriculum will always put high and rising standards in core subjects - that's non-negotiable.

"But alongside this, we will create a broad, knowledge-rich curriculum that widens access to cultural subjects and gives pupils the knowledge and skills they need to thrive at work and throughout life."
