In Education is a cooperative effort of newspapers to promote literacy using the newspaper as a tool for instruction. Under the program, newspapers provide copies, at a reduced rate, to schools for use in their classrooms. Teacher education programs and curriculum materials are provided to help schools use the newspaper as a meaningful resource for student learning. Reading about local and international events helps students to develop a clearer understanding of the world, enabling them to become better citizens and educated consumers. Local and area teachers and students use the newspapers in the classroom.
Teachers select the day and dates of delivery.
