With the alarming rise of viral fake messages on WhatsApp, schools in Kerala are now teaching children how to spot fake news and hoax messages on the popular chat app.
According to the BBC, government schools in the district of Kannur are holding so-called ‘Fake News Classes’ in English and Malayalam to help children differentiate the real from the hoax.
As part of the program, students are being shown slides and given lectures on how to spot fake WhatsApp messages. Teachers are also reportedly telling students to “question and cross check what you receive on WhatsApp. Always”.
