New program for South Australian schools aims to tackle the extreme toxic ideologies spread online by Andrew Tate

Schools across SA will undergo a curriculum restructure from early next year to counteract the toxic ideologies spread by viral internet sensation Andrew Tate.

South Australia schools will revamp their curriculum over concerns that controversial internet sensation Andrew Tate’s misogynistic ideologies are influencing young children in the classroom.

The school curriculum will be restructured from early next year to encourage respectful relationships between boys and girls.

An expert panel will collaborate with students and parents to restructure the learning material, 7NEWS reported.

Tate has been charged with rape and human trafficking in Romania, but claims to have amassed a multimillion-dollar fortune from his social media reach.

Riverbanks College principal Joe Priolo said the intention is to teach young students how to be “critical consumers”.

“That they can actually challenge and question those views and actually make positive decisions about what they’re hearing from themselves,” Mr Priolo said.

“We want our teachers to stay and be the best they can be.”

Education Minister Blair Boyer said school teachers have noticed the toxic effects of Tate’s ideologies, shared via his multiple social media platforms and algorithms that amplify his propaganda to teenagers.

“It’s getting a huge reach,” Mr Boyer said.

“I’ve spoken to staff and said they’re seeing it in year five students.

“The behaviours and habits and things that you learn when you’re young, at primary school and high school, you carry with you.”

Student Roya Sharifi said she had experienced sexist remarks from other students.

“Saying how we’re girls and we’re not going to win or achieve anything amazing, which is concerning,” the year 10 student said.

Another year 10 student, Zacary Oliver, added: “I think it’s bad that we have this level of poor treatment in society that we have to learn it in school.”
