Introduce fact checking as a compulsory part of the education curriculum

Petition Details

Please introduce fact checking as a specific, compulsory part of the education curriculum, in a similar way to that of the Swedish and Finnish education systems. Current provisions in computing and citizenship courses are not extensive enough.

Additional Information

Both social media and mainstream media (MSM) offer a huge amount of information. How do we identify what is fact and what is fake? Fake viral stories from social media and MSM are a known issue that we're not currently equipped to deal with, this sort of critical thinking is important for the future generations to be equipped with to be able to examine a piece of information, examine the source and decide for themselves or from independent sources, whether it's fact or fake.
