Fact-checking is especially important for education content because eligibility, fees, deadlines, exam rules and regulatory status can change.
What We Check
Where relevant, we verify names of institutions and programs, current admission or exam information, numerical claims, regulatory information and direct quotations.
Preferred Sources
We prioritize official university or institution pages, government portals, regulators, examination authorities and primary documentation where practical. Reputable secondary sources may be used for context.
Dates and Figures
Statistics should identify the period they describe. Time-sensitive figures should be accompanied by source context or a last-checked date when useful.
Reader Verification
Readers should confirm high-stakes application, payment, admission, visa, scholarship and examination information on the relevant official website before acting.
