Learn the News is a free newspaper designed mainly for primary school children in South Africa. Published twice a week in digital and paper versions, the newspaper is available in English, Afrikaans and Zulu – three of several official tongues prevailing in South Africa. The news stories are written in a style and format appropriate for children and easy to understand. The topics range from African news to worldwide topics and include the latest updates on business, the environment and sports, as well as historical pieces. Learn the news is accompanied by a worksheet that can be used in the classroom. The paper is designed to encourage reading and should help South Africans learn each other’s languages.

The editing team is based in Johannesburg, but illustrations and ideas for the newspaper and worksheets are assembled from schools throughout South Africa.
