Scope and content
UpBeat was a progressive educational magazine for teenagers, and was published by SACHED seven times a year.
UpBeat covered issues of crucial importance such as unemployment, housing, trade unions and child labour. It also took up student concerns such as corporal punishment and school uniforms. UpBeat encouraged debate on political and educational topics. In addition, UpBeat carried vocabulary lessons, short stories, quizzes and articles on health, African history education,
sport and music. All this in very easy English.
