Title: The Enduring Influence of Politics on Teachers and Learners in the
Democratic Era
Introduction
The relationship between politics and education has been a subject of
significant scrutiny, particularly in contexts where social change and
ideological shifts occur. Moloi (2011) delves into the impact of the Black
consciousness philosophy on both teachers and learners at Bodibeng High
School from the 1940s to the 1970s, highlighting the profound influence of
political ideologies on educational institutions. In light of South Africa's
transition to democracy, this essay explores whether politics continues to
exert influence on teachers and learners in the democratic era. Drawing from
Moloi's historical analysis and contemporary perspectives, as well as other
relevant sources, this essay will argue that despite the shift in political
landscape, politics still significantly shapes the educational environment in
South Africa.
