Liberation Education

Liberation Education is an approach to teaching that empowers learners to critically analyze their social, political, and economic contexts. It encourages individuals to question oppressive structures and fosters the belief that education can lead to social change and personal liberation. Originating from the ideas of educators like Paulo Freire, this educational philosophy emphasizes dialogue, critical thinking, and the active participation of learners, helping them to become aware of injustices and to take action for a more equitable society. Essentially, it views education as a tool for empowerment and transformation rather than just the transmission of knowledge.
