Following a tragic stabbing incident in Southport, the UK government plans to revise the national curriculum to help students identify extremist content and online misinformation. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson announced a review to embed critical thinking skills across subjects, enabling students to challenge fake news and conspiracy theories. The curriculum changes, aimed at protecting young minds, will include analyzing news articles and statistics in context. The review's findings are expected next year, with reforms set to take effect by September 2025. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also hinted at stricter regulations on social media content.
