Against an international and historical background this article deals with the main themes of the educational politics of the Swedish Conservative Party in the 1970s and 1980s. Several parallels to West‐European and American Conservative education politics are pointed out. It is emphasized that the central components of today's Swedish conservative policy in educational matters have been recurrent themes throughout the twentieth century. First and foremost the Conservatives have strived for an early division of children for different tasks in society. However what is new is the offensive character of the modern education policy. It is stressed that, for substantial periods of time, schooling has only been of secondary importance to the Swedish Right. The reasons behind this are shortly discussed
