This paper explains Paulo Freire believes that an
education curriculum should be designed to promote learning through
individuals'
critical thinking, which contrasts to the style of
education in oppressive societies. The author points out that "Problem Posing", as opposed to "Banking", a core component of Freire's educational philosophy, aims at bringing the most out of an individual because
individuals are presented with a problem, and the individual is expected to solve it through critical thinking. The paper relates that feminist theory agrees with Freire's philosophy that women are oppressed through 'banking' education's continuing the status quo for generations through the dominant male class.
