PISA 2025 found that 46% of students check reliable sources and prioritise scientific evidence. Another 37% say they check sources but also rely on common sense alongside scientific studies.

What should schools teach students to help them navigate information—and AI—more critically?

Across OECD countries, PISA scores for 15-year-olds have been falling dramatically—especially in reading and maths. Why do you think this is happening? Phones? Teaching methods? COVID? Less reading? Lower standards? Or something else?

What happens when the money supply grows faster than the economy itself? Why do prices rise, savings lose purchasing power, and everyday life become more expensive over time?

In our upcoming video, we explore how money is created, how inflation shapes the economy, and why rising markets and economic growth do not always translate into greater prosperity for everyone.

Trauma doesn’t always stay in the past. For some, it returns in flashes—during sleep, in quiet moments, or when something triggers the memory. PTSD is not just about what happened, but how the brain continues to respond, often keeping the body in a constant state of alert long after the danger is gone.

Our upcoming video, we explore the science behind trauma, stress, and how these experiences can reshape the brain—sometimes leading to long-term challenges like anxiety and depression.
