*Title: The Continuing Influence of Politics on Education in the Democratic Era**

Introduction

Tshepo Moloi’s (2011) examination of Bodibeng High School during the 1940s–1970s
highlights the profound impact of Black consciousness philosophy on both educators and
students. As we delve into the question of whether politics still wields influence over
teachers and learners in the democratic era, it becomes apparent that the legacy of
historical ideologies and power dynamics persists. This essay argues that politics
continues to shape the educational landscape, impacting curriculum, resource allocation,
and socio-political dynamics within schools.

Body

*Curriculum and Ideological Influence*: Moloi’s study underscores how the Black
consciousness philosophy influenced the curriculum and pedagogy at Bodibeng High
School, promoting a sense of identity and empowerment among students. In the
democratic era, while there is a semblance of ideological plurality, political agendas still
influence educational content. For instance, debates over history curriculum often reflect
broader societal tensions, with different political factions vying to shape narratives to suit
their agendas (Smith, 2019).

*Resource Allocation and Socio-Economic Factors*: The allocation of resources to schools
remains a political issue, with disparities persisting between affluent and disadvantaged
areas. Research by Anderson et al. (2020) demonstrates how socio-economic factors,
often intertwined with political decisions, impact educational outcomes. In the democratic
era, while there may be policies aimed at redressing inequalities, the reality is that resource
allocation is still subject to political negotiations and budgetary constraints, affecting the
quality of education available to students.

*Teacher Recruitment and Professionalism*: Moloi’s analysis also touches upon the
influence of politics on teacher recruitment and professionalism. In democratic societies,
