Abstract
The way in which our subject is taught in schools must have an effect upon future generations of physicists and upon the growth of physics itself. The work of the schools is therefore a proper concern of all who profess a loyalty to physics, whatever may be the field in which they themselves are engaged, and much of the considerable activity that is at present directed towards the improvement of school physics courses is, in fact, a result of the interest shown by physicists who are not themselves schoolmasters. It is, for example, significant that at the first International Conference on Physics Education, held in Paris in 1960, at which the majority of delegates were university teachers, at least half of the time of the Conference was devoted to topics that were wholly or mainly concerned with school education.
