Key Claims

Paulo Freire contrasted oppressive ‘banking education’ (depositing passive facts into student containers) with liberating ‘problem-posing education’. Through egalitarian dialogue and critical conscientization (conscientização), learners unveil systemic oppression and engage in transformative praxis.
