Overview
Britain lags far behind many other countries - of ideologies as widely opposed as the USA and USSR - in its commitment to political education. This book is a lucid and readable argument in favour of increasing the amount of thought and time given to political education in schools and colleges in Britain. Tom Brennan traces the ideological and historical background to political education and recent developments in its protagonists' campaign, looking at the possibilities and problems to be faced in the future. He laments the lack of political literacy and political competence amongst all concerned in both politics and education when there is so much information and comment currently available. In his final chapter, he suggests that ways of positive action are available and presents a strong case for further movement towards a more democratic society.
