Dear friends,

Please could you forward this questionnaire to any teachers you may know of through your work in development education.

I am writing to request your assistance with a research study designed to facilitate the development of new educational materials and broadcasts for schools. These new materials are intended to help bring global issues into the classroom in a form which is useful for teachers and is relevant to curriculum and subject areas.

I would like to ask you to spend a few minutes filling in the questionnaire which is pasted below. It has been produced on behalf of the International Broadcasting Trust, an educational charity set up and sponsored by numerous development and environmental agencies, educational bodies, churches and human rights organisations to raise public awareness about global issues relating to development, the environment and human rights.

The short questionnaire is designed to evaluate teacher demand for new media resources and to identify new areas for educational broadcasting.

We would like to know what kinds of technology you use and which formats are most appropriate to your needs.

Thank you so much for your time and assistance. I hope we will be able to provide you with the materials that best suit your needs in the future.

If you do have any questions or require further information please do contact Ceri Dingle on

020 8985 5435.

Best wishes
