I read somewhere that Germany has a pretty good anti-propaganda education. That was a long time ago, so I don't know if it's true now. At schools here in the U.S., a buzz phrase for a decade or two has been to teach "critical thinking". I rarely actually saw it done. I feel like it needs to be explicitly about recognizing propaganda with current events and media coverage. Starting in like middle school. I know it'll never happen because every school will have to teach the bible or something. And parents would freak out about their kids learning to think instead of just being passively, or aggressively, indoctrinated at home.
Nowadays Finland is the go to example on misinformation education: https://osis.bg/?p=4450&lang=en
