The Agency of Learners and Teachers in Preserving Religious, Moral, Cultural, and
Philosophical Convictions in the Education Environment
Introduction
The concept of agency, particularly within educational settings, is profoundly linked to the
ability of both learners and teachers to navigate, influence, and transform their
environments while upholding their religious, moral, cultural, and philosophical
convictions. Michel Foucault’s ideas about self, agency, and ethics, as explored by
scholars like Hodgson (2010), Maldonado-Torres (2007), and Ollson (1999), provide a
framework for understanding how agency is exercised and constrained in educational
contexts. Additionally, the notion of agency, as described by Priestley, Biesta, and
Robinson (2015), emphasizes that it is shaped by past experiences and oriented towards
future objectives, enacted within specific cultural, structural, and material contexts. This
essay explores the relationship between the agency of learners and teachers and their
ability to preserve their convictions, focusing on concepts such as ‘self-care’ and ‘ubuntu’
within the South African educational context. Terms of use
