Review: As relevant today... - Written over fifty years ago The Pedagogy of the Oppressed is as relevant today as it was at the time of writing. A foundational teaching and learning approach which underpins current and leading approaches to education such as constructivism and UDL. Through the lens of the extreme scenario of educations role in revolution, Frieda proposes dialogue as the tool by which to design learning curriculum. By implied co-ownership of curriculum design and planning an environment of true and effective learning can occur. The text is bold in drawing comparisons to the oppressor and the opposed in a Colonial, Capitalist political model to the classroom dynamics of educator and student. In the process of such examination the thesis lays out the controlling approaches of such curriculum design approaches of ‘knowledge banking’ and delivery what we now term ‘sage on the stage’ are not only ineffective but are motivated by hierarchical models of maintaining power and control by the ‘oppressor’. Particularly in the ‘West’ where we value the idea of education as a way out of poverty, status and towards freedom, the text questions an educational model which ‘enrols’ people into the systems of a neo-liberal model of ‘oppression’ or truly liberates people through critical thinking to a place where heritage knowledge is valued and truly free. A must read especially following recent world events and a call to action to practice true educational revolution!

*by F***N on 30 July 2025*

An indesensible text on teaching for the politically engaged educator or the political organizer alike. Macedo's introduction in this edition is informative. This book is often referenced but rarely actually studied--it is about much more than just the "banking model of education" (a concept not even original to Freire, though he coined that phrase), but rather about the pedagogical character of revolution. It is not without its flaws, reflecting some theoretical errors of Freire's various influences, from humanists to phenomenologists, but is essential reading for anyone interested in Marxism, especially those interested in teaching.
