Pedagogy of the Oppressed

*Pedagogy of the Oppressed*, by Paulo Freire, is a book that explores how education can either reinforce oppressive systems or empower individuals. It advocates for a dialogue-based, participatory learning process where learners are active participants, critically examining their reality. Instead of teachers merely depositing information, students collaborate with educators to question and transform their world. This approach aims to liberate oppressed people by fostering critical consciousness, enabling them to challenge injustices and take control of their own lives and societies. Ultimately, it promotes education as a tool for social justice and emancipation.
