Freire confronts the dual role of education in society. It can either reinforce conformity, perpetuating existing structures, or serve as a practice of freedom. By promoting critical and creative engagement with reality, education empowers individuals to become active participants in transforming their world. This perspective challenges us to rethink educational systems that prioritize rote learning over critical thinking.
