There are many formal agents in socializing children. School is one such, agent which effectively socializes children towards politics through its curriculum and extra-curriculum. Schools are traditional means and mode of learning. They have been imparting education through ages. It is in school that political culture is formally transmitted and acquired. The teacher may communicate political attitudes and orientations through overt expression in class room discussions or even outside the classroom as students may feel less constrained in behavior outside the class. The school develops citizenship qualities, such as discipline, co-operation, social awareness, tolerance, patriotism, rationalism and leadership. At the same time, students learn sincerity, discipline and regularity in the school. But there is another agent which socializes children through informal education in terms of rituals and practices. Culture is an ongoing learning process. The educational institutions influence the child’s social and political values and thereby help in implementing the political culture in their minds. The democratic experiences are deepened, enriched and expanded to the wider circles in educational institutions. An attempt is made in the present article to assess the role of school in the process of political socialization of the children.
