Since those early wireless programmes in 1924, BBC Education has evolved with BBC Television for Schools launching in 1957, leading to programmes such as Look and Read, Music Time and Scene regularly being played in classrooms.
The growth of the world wide web in the 1990s led to the birth of BBC Bitesize in 1998 – then focused on GCSEs. Bitesize has continued to grow, now offering support to pupils across both primary and secondary schools, and beyond – ably assisted by BBC Teach with their popular Live Lessons.
Take a look back at BBC Education’s first century of learning content with some of the stars who helped to inform, educate and entertain school children for the past 100 years. You can also join BBC Teach's special centenary Live Lesson on Monday 22 April.
