§ Mr. ClappisonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what has been the total cost of the magazine called "Teachers" since its inception. [128067]
§ Mr. WillsThe average cost of each issue of "Teachers" magazine is 32p per head. The magazine is subsidised by advertising which keeps this cost down.
The magazine is around £108,000 an issue or £650,000 a year. The magazine was launched in February 1999 and is published six times a year. We have published 10 issues of the magazine so far.
The magazine is a simple and effective way of communicating directly with teachers. It gives professional advice and provides a platform to share good practice to help raise standards.
