Children in England will be taught how to spot extremist content and misinformation online under planned changes to the school curriculum, the education secretary has 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”.

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.
