Critical thinking skills will allow the UK populous to improve their decision making process. Making critical thinking mandatory in schools will lead to future generations being better equipped to question what they are told in terms of facts and feasibility.

The National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking defines critical thinking as the "intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action."
