The aims of S.E.A. are many, It must propagate the ideas of comprehensive education in the Labour Party itself and this is no mean task, Since party volicy is very often understood only in part by most members. The deeply conservative nature of many Labour L.E.A.'s means also that we must act as a pressure group at Constituency and Borough Labour Party level. In addition to these comparatively simnle tasks S.E.A. must continually be examining existing comprehensive schools, selection tests, the rival claims of heredity and environment in shaninre intelligence, effects of streaming and non-streaning and the educability of children generally. *The Socialist Educational Association is affiliated to the Labour Party and was founded from the National Association of Labour Teachers (N.A.L.T.).
