Abstract

Education on energy issues was in vogue at the beginning of the 1980s due to the pressures from energy prices. What will happen to it now that these pressures have diminished considerably and show signs of diminishing further in the context of deregulation, which is sweeping the US and Europe.

We will examine here, through several case studies, two indicative tendencies which are not, however, intended to be an exhaustive analysis of this subject:

• the treatment of energy in national curricula;

• the sensitisation of children through their life at school.

This poster paper should be viewed very much as a prologue to the issues at stake which perhaps could be given more detailed treatment at a future ECEEE session.
