Gramsci's Theory of Education

Gramsci's Theory of Education emphasizes that education plays a crucial role in shaping societal ideas and maintaining or challenging power structures. He believed schools often reinforce the dominant culture's values, which helps preserve existing social inequalities. However, education also has the potential to empower marginalized groups by fostering critical thinking and awareness of social injustices. Ultimately, Gramsci saw education as a tool for both perpetuating and transforming society, depending on how it's designed and used, encouraging learners to question and reshape societal norms rather than passively accept them.
