Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire is a seminal work in the field of critical pedagogy. Freire argues that traditional education systems perpetuate oppression and inequality by treating students as passive recipients of knowledge. He advocates for a transformative approach to education that empowers students to critically analyze and challenge social injustices. This book offers a powerful critique of the banking model of education and proposes alternative methods that prioritize dialogue, collaboration, and the development of critical consciousness. It is a must-read for educators and activists committed to social justice in education.
