Zitat des Tages von Paulo Freire:
It is not systematic education which somehow molds society, but, on the contrary, society which, according to its particular structure, shapes education in relation to the ends and interests of those who control the power in that society.
It is absolutely essential that the oppressed participate in the revolutionary process with an increasingly critical awareness of their role as subjects of the transformation.
Every society needs to examine itself in relation to other societies.
Critical and liberating dialogue, which presupposes action, must be carried on with the oppressed at whatever the stage of their struggle for liberation. The content of that dialogue can and should vary in accordance with historical conditions and the level at which the oppressed perceive reality.
I am an educator who thinks globally.
Education is freedom.
The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information.
The oppressed, having internalized the image of the oppressor and adopted his guidelines, are fearful of freedom.
Revolution is born as a social entity within the oppressor society.
Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.
