This essay explains the basics of Paulo Freire’s theory of critical pedagogy and its impact on education. “A key element in critical pedagogy is the idea that human society is imperfect and needs to be subjected to quite radical change. It focuses on power and authority, and the hierarchies which can assert ideological positions and confine people to defined roles in life, and limit their freedom” (UK Essays, 2018).
