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).

This Pedagogy Makes Oppression And Its Causes Objects Of Reflection By The Oppressed, And From That Reflection Will Come Their Necessary Engagement In The Struggle For Their Liberation. And In The Struggle This Pedagogy Will Be Made And Remade

It Would Be A Contradiction In Terms If The Oppressors Not Only Defended But Actually Implemented A Liberating Education.
