Times Educational Supplement
Quick overview
EXPLORE NEARLY A CENTURY OF EDUCATIONAL REPORTAGE AND COMMENTARY
For the first time, students and scholars can digitally mine any twentieth-century issue of The Times Educational Supplement (TES), one of the most well-regarded primary and secondary education news sources. Founded a handful of years before the onset of World War I, TES became the leading publication on public policy and pedagogical practice over the decades, not only in the United Kingdom but worldwide. In these more than 4,300 issues, researchers will find ample material in fields such as education, social history, women’s studies, public health, literature and the arts, and a variety of topics in the humanities and social sciences.
The first issue of The Times Educational Supplement was published on September 6, 1910, as part of The Times of London. It became a standalone publication in 1914, and today, as TES, its present owners claim to host “the largest network of teachers in the world.”
Over its first decade, TES established itself as a newspaper for teachers, with a particular focus on advocacy of educational reforms. Its readership expanded over time beyond its initial audience of private and grammar school teachers as parents and general readers grew interested in school reform activity.
The current TES platform is vast. According to its website, TES works “with 25,000 schools in more than 100 countries” and provides “innovative services and access to over 900,000 teacher-made resources to help teachers succeed in the classroom.”
Gale's Times Educational Supplement Archive provides a unique teaching and learning resource for students to explore the world’s oldest continuous educational publication. Teachers can empower researchers to use this resource to learn about historical education policies, pedagogy, tech, reform, funding, social policy, and more.
