Under planned changes to the curriculum, the UK government announced that Sunday schools in England was teach kids how to spot extremist and website content spreading “putrid crime ideas.” Bridget Phillipson, the secretary of education, announced that she would be conducting a review of the syllabus in both primary and secondary schools to offer important thinking across a range of subjects.
Following the Southport weapon assault, which authorities claim was caused by misinformation online, there has been disturbance in more than a hundred towns and cities recently. The piercing binge, allegedly carried out by British-born Axel Rudakubana, left three children useless. Rudakubana was a Muslim immigrant, according to internet rumors about the tragedy.
According to Phillipson,” It’s more critical than ever that we give young people the tools and information to challenge what they see online.” ” We will review our education to create strategies to teach essential skills in order to protect our children from fake news, fake news, and vile conspiracy theories that are prevalent on social media,” said one teacher.
In addition to the proposed changes, students may use context-based statistics analysis in computer classes to identify fake bait in English lessons. But, the review is not set to record its results until next year, meaning changes do not come into force until Sept, 2025, according to the Telegraph.
