I leave you the best phrases by Paulo Freire about education, the oppressed, freedom, life, children, pedagogy, humanity and much more. Freire was born in 1921 in northeastern Brazil, where he experienced experiences that influenced his work.
In fact, Paulo Freire was not a pedagogue who received his teachings only theoretically, but developed his theories from his own experiences, since he went through hunger and poverty since he was young. Because he lived in a rural society, with poor families and workers, he began to understand the influence of socioeconomic class on education..
One of the most outstanding points of Paulo Freire's pedagogy is that he not only gives importance to reading, to understand words, but also to understanding the world, having a critical conscience. Having a critical conscience, people can question their historical and social situation to contribute to the creation of a democratic society.
Paulo Freire's education consists of a dialogue between students and teachers, in which both question, learn, reflect and participate in the creation of meaning. The teacher has to get involved in the community, know the lives of his students and their families in order to influence the generation of discussions in the classes.
What is more important, for Freire it is not only enough to dialogue, but it is necessary to act in the environment, critically reflect on reality and transform it with actions.
