New edition of First Past the Post is out now (Jan 2008)

The latest edition of tutor2u’s hugely popular digital Politics magazine First Past the Post is online now. This month FPTP features articles on a wide range of topical issues by a team of writers who are all experienced teachers aware of the need to provide informative and accessible material.

FPTP articles are great for background reading to help students keep up-to-date with the fast moving world of politics, but their sharp focus and one side of A4 approach mean they are perfect as a basis for discussion at the start or end of lessons.
