However, many people in Indonesia struggle dealing with fake news and easily trust in hoaxes. To prepare for a better future from hoaxes, questioning attitude as part of critical thinking skills must be taught earlier at school.

In conclusion, Indonesian folklores can be employed to teach young learners how to not easily accept uncertain information they face daily.
