This Capacity To Go Beyond The Factors

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.

Language Is Never Neutral

Human Existence Cannot Be Silent, Nor Can It Be Nourished By False Words, But Only By True Words, With Which People Transform The World. To Exist, Humanly, Is To Name The World, To Change It. Once Named, The World In Its Turn Reappears To The Namers As A Problem And Requires Of Them A New Naming. People Are Not Built In Silence, But In Word, In Work, In Action-reflection.

Finally, It Is Important To Make It Clear That Imagination Is Not An Exercise For Those Detached From Reality, Those Who Live In The Air. On The Contrary, When We Imagine Something, We Do It Necessarily Conditioned By A Lack In Our Concrete Reality. When Children Imagine Free And Happy Schools, It Is Because Their Real Schools Deny Them Freedom And Happiness.

It Is Not Suprising That The Banking Concept Of Education Regards Men As Adaptable, Manageable Beings.
