No Education = No Future (Fuck the Curfew) is an EP by Scottish post-rock group Mogwai, released in the UK through Chemikal Underground in 1998.
No Education = No Future (Fuck the Curfew) is Mogwai's second EP. It features three tracks, &Xmas Steps&, &Rollerball& (both recorded at CaVa Studios in Glasgow, Scotland and produced by Geoff Allan in April 1998), and &Small Children in the Background& (recorded at Chem19 Studios in Hamilton, Scotland and produced by Andy Miller in May 1998). The curfew mentioned in the title of the EP refers to a curfew which was imposed upon all under-16s in Lanarkshire, Scotland, which made it illegal for them to be out after 9pm. The promo for the EP originally featured the song &Helps Both Ways& (also recorded at CaVa Studios and produced by Geoff Allan), which sampled American football coach John Madden without permission, so consequently, the song was replaced by &Small Children in the Background& on the actual EP. A re-recording of &Helps Both Ways& later appeared on the 1999 album, Come On Die Young. A re-recorded version of &Xmas Steps&, entitled &Christmas Steps&, also appears on Come On Die Young. All three tracks on the EP later appeared on the 2000 compilation album, EP+6.
