An agency granted pedagogic authority cannot freely set its own content or methods

Evidence

2.3.1.1. The delegation of the right of symbolic violence which estab­ lishes the PAu of a pedagogic agency is always a limited delegation; l:e. the delegation to a pedagogic agency of such authority as it requires in order to inculcate a cultural arbitrary legitimately, in accordance with the mode of imposition defined by that arbitrary, entails the impossi­ bility for that agency of freely defining the mode of imposition, the content imposed and the public on which it imposes it (the principle of the limited autonomy of pedagogic agencies). — Pierre Bourdieu and Jean-Claude Passeron, Reproduction in Education, Society and…, 1344
