Pedagogy
Lessons are created by trained teachers, with over ten years of experience working with students aged 10 to 16. Our team works hard to ensure our skills-based lessons are engaging, inclusive and accessible.
-
Integrity
Expert journalists at The Economist guide our content selection so we publish the most important information, a fair representation of an issue and a variety of perspectives.
-
Objectivity
We cut through the media’s biases. Unlike The Economist, we don’t take a stance on issues so that students can form their own opinions. To do this, we involve external consultants, journalists and topic experts.
-
Economist editorial standards
Topical Talk lessons go through the same editorial process as the articles in the newspaper – they’re reviewed several times by a team of senior editors at The Economist.
-
Fact checked
Our content is verified by Economist fact-checkers. Facts and photographs must be current, accurate and from a reliable source.
