SecEd was launched in April 2003 as the only weekly newspaper focusing exclusively on the secondary education sector. Published each week during the academic year on Thursdays, SecEd is a colour, glossy tabloid-sized newspaper that contains a mixture of news stories, academic features, regular columns and an invaluable classified recruitment section. SecEd contains thought-provoking news, features and columns from its own team of writers, plus contributions from leading figures in UK education, such as Schools Minister, Jim Knight, and Scottish Minister for Schools and Skills, Maureen Watt.
