The Influence of Politics on Teachers and Learners in the Democratic Era
Politics has been a pervasive force in shaping educational environments
throughout history. Tshepo Moloi's (2011) study on Bodibeng High School offers
valuable insights into how the Black consciousness philosophy influenced both
teachers and learners during the period of the 1940s to the 1970s. However, a
critical question arises: Does politics still exert its influence on teachers and
learners in the democratic era? To address this question, we must examine
contemporary sources and scholarly insights to assess the extent of political
influence in educational settings today.
In contemporary South Africa, the legacy of apartheid and the struggle for
democracy continue to resonate within the educational landscape. While the
