Abstract
This paper provides an introduction to developments in political education in Britain in the 1970s and early 1980s and in so doing notes how each of the other contributions in this collection relates to the political education debate. The suggestion is made that there are different ideologies of political education and that these are reflected in party political differences. From this it is argued that schools should move from their current role in partisan political socialisation to a more open form of political education.Keywords
