The Enduring Influence of Politics on Teachers and Learners in the Democratic Era
Introduction:
The nexus between politics and education has been a longstanding subject of inquiry,
particularly in post-apartheid South Africa. Tshepo Moloi’s (2011) examination of the
Black Consciousness philosophy at Bodibeng High School during the 1940s-1970s
sheds light on the historical interplay between political ideologies and educational
practices. This essay seeks to critically evaluate whether politics continues to exert
influence on teachers and learners in the democratic era, drawing upon Moloi's study
and other relevant sources.
Body:
Moloi’s study provides valuable insights into the influence of Black Consciousness
philosophy on education during apartheid, highlighting how political ideologies
permeated school environments and shaped teaching and learning practices. The
period from the 1940s to the 1970s was characterized by racial segregation and
ideological indoctrination, with educational institutions serving as battlegrounds for
ideological contestation.
While the advent of democracy in 1994 brought about significant changes in South
Africa’s political landscape, the legacy of apartheid continues to reverberate in the
educational sphere. Despite aspirations for a non-politicized education system, politics
remains intertwined with education policies, curriculum development, and institutional
practices. The government’s role in shaping the education agenda and addressing
socio-economic inequalities underscores the ongoing political influence in the education
sector.
