Abstract

The evolution of energy education within UK schools and the inherent problems associated with teaching the subject of [`]energy' to children are reviewed. Unfortunately the provision of energy education, at all levels, is inadequate: cohesion is often poor and lack of continuity sometimes occurs. Macro-level recommendations are proferred to enhance the quality of energy-education provision within primary and secondary schools.
