ESSAY 1
The Enduring Influence of Politics on Teachers and Learners in a Democracy
Tshepo Moloi's (2011) examination of Bodibeng High School in South Africa
during the apartheid era offers a compelling illustration of the profound influence
that politics can exert on both teachers and learners. The Black Consciousness
philosophy, a powerful movement resisting racial segregation, permeated the
school's very fabric, shaping not only the educators' approaches but also the
students' activism. This historical case study compels us to consider a crucial
question: Does politics retain a similar level of influence on teachers and learners
within a democratic society?
While democratic systems aspire to maintain a clear separation between education
and partisan politics, the reality reveals a more nuanced picture. Teacher unions,
for instance, play a significant role in advocating for educational policies that often
align with specific political agendas (as discussed in [Different Ways Politics Can
Have Influence on Education - Studybay]). This advocacy can have a direct impact
on curriculum choices and funding priorities, ultimately shaping the educational
landscape for students.
Furthermore, the ever-present nature of current events and social issues inevitably
sparks political discussions within classrooms. Teachers, in such situations, find
themselves walking a tightrope. Ignoring these issues altogether risks disengaging
