NUT/COUNTDOWN photography competition


 



Teaching in the 21st century


There are prizes worth over £1000 to be won in the NUT/ Countdown photography competition. Simply send us a stunning photo that captures teaching in the 21st century.






What sums up teaching in 2010? Is it the ever-expanding use of technology in the classroom? Is it increasing diversity and inclusion? Is it healthier, greener schools and more opportunities for learning outside the classroom? Or is it the pressures of excessive workload and endless government initiatives? Whatever you think, we want you to capture it in a photo.


2010 marks the NUT’s 140th anniversary and the 40th anniversary of Coundown, the shopping and leisure discount specialists. To celebrate, we’ve teamed up to find the NUT’s best photographers – with Countdown offering generous prizes to the winners and their schools.
