The Times Educational Supplement (TES) is a weekly UK publication aimed primarily at school teachers in the UK. It was first published in 1910 as a pull-out supplement in The Times newspaper. Such was its popularity that in 1914, the supplement became a separate publication selling for 1 penny.
The TES focuses on school-related news and features. It covered higher education until the Times Higher Education Supplement (THE) was launched as a sister publication in 1971. Today its editor is Gerard Kelly. An alternative version of the publication is produced for Scotland, TESS, which is edited by Gillie Macdonald. All are produced by publishers TSL, owned by private equity group Charterhouse.
The TES is published weekly on Fridays, at a cover price of £1.70. Data from the National Readership Survey Jan-Dec 2011 suggests that the average yearly readership is around 378,000, of which around 90 per cent are in the ABC1 category.
The publication has developed a popular website featuring teaching jobs, forums and free resources, uploaded by teachers.

Famous quotes containing the word educational:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
