04/05/2021 (Agence Europe) – Only 54% of European students learn to recognise whether online information is biased, and fewer than one in ten students can distinguish between facts and opinions, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said on Tuesday 4 May. The organisation published a new PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) report on “Student Reading Skills in a Digital World”. This has particular resonance in the context of the growing number of cases of disinformation with regard to the health crisis. The OECD also finds that the use of digital technology amplifies the disadvantages of students from less affluent backgrounds and widens existing differences in learning, particularly in countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg and Sweden.
