Paulo Freire (September 19, 1921 - May 2, 1997) was an educator born in Brazil. He worked at the University of Recife. He developed new ideas about education for the oppressed - people who have been trodden down. Quotes. Paulo Freire wrote about the philosophy of education that came not only from old school such as Plato, but also from modern Marxist and anti-colonialist thinkers. His book "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" (1970) may be best read as an extension of, or reply to, Frantz Fanon’s "The Wretched of the Earth" (1961), which emphasized the need to provide native populations with an education which was simultaneously new and modern (rather than traditional) and not simply an extension of the culture of the colonizer. In "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" (1970), Freire sees differences between the two positions in an unjust society: the oppressor and the oppressed. This has been written about by Hegel in 1802, and by many authors including Engels, Marx, Lenin, Gramsci, Simone Weil. Freire says education allows the oppressed to regain their humanity and overcome their condition; however, he acknowledges that in order for this to take effect, the oppressed have to play a role in their own liberation. As he states: No pedagogy which is truly liberating can remain distant from the oppressed by treating them as unfortunates and by presenting for their emulation models from among the oppressors. The oppressed must be their own example in the struggle for their redemption (Freire, 1970, p. 54). Likewise, the oppressors must also be willing to rethink their way of life and to examine their own role in the oppression if true liberation is to occur; "those who authentically commit themselves to the people must re-examine themselves constantly" (Freire, 1970, p. 60). The ideas of Paulo Freire. Freire believed education was a political act that could not be separated from pedagogy. Teachers and students must be made aware of the "politics" that surround education. The
