Political education is taken to refer to any course studied in school which may have political content: history, current events, economics, social studies, geography, education, civics, environmental studies and similar subject matter. function of such courses is to initiate individuals into the skills and concepts required for active participation in political affairs of citizenship (Entwhistle, 1971, p. 1). Therefore to gain insight into role of political education in socializing individuals to politics, this study examined effects of PEC upon political socialization of a group of Bahamian youth studying in Montreal. This paper was prepared for presentation in Session 8: The Education of Elites in Montreal of Comparative and International Education Society of Canada, Learned Societies Conference, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, June 7-9, 1977.
