Inside Finland’s incredible education system | The Listening Post
Social media has shown its importance, once again, during Israel’s war on Gaza but online platforms can also be hotspots for fake news.
One country that stresses the importance of training young people to distinguish fact from fiction is Finland. Its educational drive around media literacy offers a model for educators, broadcasters and countries around the world.
The Finnish government has woven courses on media literacy into its school curriculums to equip Finns with the tools to assess the accuracy of the information they see.
Teachers are on the frontlines of this fight for truth and the national broadcaster also has its part to play.
Flo Phillips reports, from Finland, on the society-wide educational drive that offers a model for educators, broadcasters and countries around the world.
