Solution- the TNCT Pilot Project Hypothesis

Teaching adolescent school students critical thinking skills will lead to improved intellectual ability to identify poor quality information, evaluate information for reliability and accuracy, differentiate strong arguments from weak reasoning, and draw sound inferences across varied topics. Critical thinking (CT) is the process of skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, and evaluating information as a guide to belief and action. Teaching it to school students will inculcate the skills required to protect themselves from misinformation, disinformation, and online frauds and instigators by laying the intellectual foundations for developing scientific temper, humanism, and a spirit of enquiry and reform as envisaged by Art 51(A)(h) of the constitution.
