The Times Educational Supplement (TES) is one of the world's best-known education newspapers. The first issue was published on September 6, 1910, as part of The Times of London, until it became a standalone publication in 1914. Over its first decade TES established itself as the paper for teachers, with a particular focus on advocacy of educational reforms.
