In this article I try to account for some of the problems experienced by Conservative politicians in their efforts to reshape the school curriculum. I am not so much concerned with detailed scrutiny of the often tumultuous course of events since the establishment of the National Curriculum in 1988, as with the relationship in which the general tendency of curriculum policy in these years stands to customary Conservative thinking about tradition, culture and political order. Paradoxically, for all the stress the Conservative Party has recently placed on "traditional" values, this relationship is not a close one. Government curriculum policy in its most militant phase1 departs in significant respects from the ways in which Conservatives have tended to think about the role of political action in relation to cultural change. Right-wing awareness of this discrepancy is increasing, and, as I shall show later, plays a prominent part in Conservative reflections upon the curricular debacle of 1993.
