Paulo Freire on Education

In a previous article, I discussed some of philosopher Paulo Freire’s views on political conflict. Though he didn’t shy away from politics, Freire was first and foremost a philosopher of education. In this article, I want to introduce you to some of the views of Paulo Freire on education. As a teacher, I find his ideas sensible and a breath of fresh air amidst the increasing corporatization of education.
