In Finland information literacy is now taught from elementary school onwards. During my last trip to the country we had an interesting conversation about an age divide in reactions to social media. The dividing line is currently around 25 and reflects when critical thinking about information sources came into school curriculum.

Some school curriculum such as Expeditionary Learning, IB, and Montessori have elements of this. My concern is that the over emphasis on STEM as the be all and end all will not adequately focus on critical thinking.
