Information is not Knowledge.
This quote should be on the cover of our national curriculum:
"Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom."
Pupils should gain knowledge and understanding about becoming informed citizens including human rights, the diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom, the media's role in society, including the internet, wider issues and challenges of global interdependence and responsibility, including sustainable development and Local Agenda 21.
Pupils should develop the skills of enquiry and communication including researching political, moral, social issues, problems or event by analysing information from different sources, showing an awareness of the use and abuse of statistics, expressing, justifying and defending orally and in writing personal opinions about them, and contributing to group and exploratory class discussions and debates.
