Dropping a note to commend the team behind Contact for reaching out to teachers in school. The articles have enabled me to have better understanding of what is happening in our fraternity. It has helped me to understand my role better.

Thanks again!

I happened to see the email on contributions so I thought I would contribute in offering some suggestions for improving the editorial contents and overall look for Contact.

(i) What about including a contents page rather than splash the contents on the cover? (I think the cover should have a few catchy and strong headlines.)

(ii) It would be interesting to include an editorial page which comprises the editorial team giving their views for the direction of each issue, e.g. Editor's Page.

Dear Aline

We have placed all the links for the articles on the Contact Homepage so that the reader is given a quick glimpse into what is offered in a particular issue, without having to click on a link to another page.

We have not included an Editor's Page because Contact Online is a bulletin aimed to provide quick and timely updates on developments on the education scene.

There will be an Editor's Page in the Teachers' Digest, a print version of Contact which is published on a quarterly basis. Teachers can expect to receive the first issue soon. The Teachers' Digest provides the big picture of education policies and initiatives as they are introduced and integrated into the school system.

Thank you for your suggestions and interest in Contact, and we welcome more feedback so that we can improve our newsletter to better serve the teaching fraternity.

Editor
