Only 36% of students possess a scientific thinking profile, with a notable decline observed over the past decade. This deficiency impacts reading comprehension and susceptibility to misinformation, posing a risk to democracy. The findings suggest a gap equivalent to five years of schooling between students with scientific thinking and those with less developed reasoning skills.World · 5d agoFrench Protests Stem From Deeper Social Issues, Not Just EthnicityRecent protests in France, initially perceived by some Israelis as an ethnic uprising, are actually rooted in deeper social and educational grievances, according to French research.
