Advancing Media Literacy Skills
Advancing Media Literacy Skills
We foster lifelong learning by equipping Ontarians with the knowledge and critical thinking skills they need to make informed decisions about our world.
On this International Day of Education (January 24, 2026), we are focusing our efforts to advance media literacy and ensure it remains at the forefront of our educational and journalistic content.
In an era where information flows faster than ever, and misinformation can spread just as quickly, the ability to critically evaluate media is no longer optional; it’s essential. Media literacy equips individuals to question sources, analyze content, and navigate digital spaces safely and responsibly.
