More quotes by Paulo Freire
It would be extremely naive to expect the dominant classes to develop a type of education that would enable subordinate classes to perceive social injustices critically.
Paulo Freire
There is no true word that is not at the same time a praxis. Thus, to speak a true word is to transform the world.
Paulo Freire
To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them.
Paulo Freire
Education must begin with the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.
Paulo Freire
I cannot be a teacher without exposing who I am.
Paulo Freire
Teachers who do not take their own education seriously, who do not study, who make little effort to keep abreast of events have no moral authority to coordinate the activities of the classroom.
Paulo Freire
The hope of remaking the world is indispensable in the struggle of oppressed men and women.
Paulo Freire
The revolutionary's role is to liberate, and to be liberated, with the people--not to win them over.
Paulo Freire
The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.
Paulo Freire
Education is freedom. Education will teach you how to do it yourself as opposed to asking someone else to do it for you. And around it our own town... Freemanville!
Paulo Freire
Whether the teacher is authoritarian, undisciplined, competent, incompetent, serious, irresponsible, involved, a lover of people and of life, cold, angry with the world, bureaucratic, excessively rational, or whatever else, he/she will not pass through the classroom without leaving his or her mark on the students.
Paulo Freire
Reflection and action must never be undertaken independently.
Paulo Freire
Authentic thinking, thinking that is concerned about reality, does not take place in ivory tower isolation, but only in communication. If it is true that thought has meaning only when generated by action upon the world, the subordination of students to teachers becomes impossible.
Paulo Freire
There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
Paulo Freire
Whereas banking education anesthetizes and inhibits creative power, problem-posing education involves a constant unveiling of reality. The former attempts to maintain the submersion of consciousness the latter strives for the emergence of consciousness and critical intervention in reality.
Paulo Freire
The more people participate in the process of their own education, and the more people participate in defining what kind of production to produce, and for what and why, the more people participate in the development of their selves. The more people become themselves, the better the democracy.
Paulo Freire
It's really not possible for someone to imagine himself/herself as a subject in the process of becoming without having at the same time a disposition for change. And change of which she/he is not merely the victim but the subject.
Paulo Freire
Education is an act of love, and thus an act of courage
Paulo Freire
To simply think about the people, as the dominators do, without any self-giving in that thought, to fail to think with the people, is a sure way to cease being revolutionary leaders.
Paulo Freire
One of the methods of manipulation is to inoculate individuals with the bourgeois appetite for personal success.
Paulo Freire
