Comment on Schools to teach children how to spot fake news and ‘putrid’ conspiracies online

This is actually a very minimal change to the already existing curriculum - the (compulsory) English Language GCSE is 50% “Critical reading and comprehension”

Gov UK states all specifications must include:

“identifying bias and misuse of evidence, including distinguishing between statements that are supported by evidence and those that are not; reflecting critically and evaluatively on text”

Most people presumably… “forgot”? but this has been in the curriculum for decades
