Famous for his advocacy of "critical pedagogy", Paulo Freire was Latin America's foremost educationalist, a thinker and writer whose work and ideas continue to exert enormous influence in education throughout the world today. Education for Critical Consciousness is the main statement of Freire's revolutionary method of education. It takes the life situation of the learner as its starting point and the raising of consciousness and the overcoming of obstacles as its goals. For Freire, man's striving for his own humanity requires the changing of structures that dehumanize both the oppressor and the oppressed.

As a young student of agriculture and development theory this was a spectacular learning moment for me and I look forward to incorporating these methods and ideas into my work.

Illuminating and Inspiring

Unless you’re teaching in Brasília or rural Chile, stick with Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Half of the first essay is Brazilian history, which is interesting but not what I was after. Freire’s central idea is one of active learning, as he (discusses in Pegagogy of the Opressed), and it is well-explained in the contexts of agrarian and literacy education, but points are repeated over and over. Not bad but on his best.
Translation is also a little pretentious

Repetitive and specific

A great discussion about the nature and necessity of education. Highly recommend giving this a listen.

What education actually is💜

Learn to transform people, not just transact students. It’s short and pointed, too many awesome quotes to remember. Certainly a re-read every few years.

A must for teachers
