// Welcome to Newspapers in Education - A free educational resource for teachers and students //

=
Over the decades, the NIE concept spread among newspapers across the world. In the late 1970s, the concept even spread to prisons, adult literacy centers, and hospital-based learning programs — far beyond the traditional classroom setting.=====

Fairfax Media's NIE program is fostering excellence in our young people. Our program brings an exchange of ideas to the classroom, encourages literacy and helps inquiring students become thinkers and doers. Using newspapers in the classroom is just one way we lay the foundation for informed, responsible citizens. The success of our program is credited to the teachers, librarians, principals and those who use newspapers as a teaching tool and to the local businesses who make it all possible. Thanks to them we're leaving our cities and towns a legacy of confident readers, writers, critical thinkers and leaders.=====

Our philosophy is simple: We believe that using the newspaper as a tool to educate our students inspires learning and contributes to their success. Newspapers are springboards to knowledge for everyone.=====
