Rebutting what the Telegraph said is probably a cul-de-sac: the Telegraph isn't going to print it, and other papers have no reason to write about the Telegraph rather than some expert source.
So I'd suggest developing a press release along the lines of amplifying the good points in what Ofqual said, taking it as an endorsement of "always read the label" type. Needs work, though. What is the story we are putting across? Roughly, there is the "riff" that school students will use the Web, like it or not; and so knowing how to use WP properly is a research skill of our time, just as is using a search engine.
