Today I’ m going to talk about someone that I admire, and he is “Paulo Freire”.
Paulo Freire was born on 1921 in Recife, Pernambuco state in Brazil; one of the most poor places in this Latin-American country. He was raised in a middle class family and when he grew up, he took interest on the education for the poor people of his region; and after he finished some law studies, he has developed a “teaching system” for all education levels. He stayed in prison 2 times in Brazil about his “strange” ideas; and then, the people start to know him since today, when he is the most famous educator of our times.
His theory is about that the educational process must be approached in the student’s social environment, and this students how right’s persons must to understand their own reality how a part of their education, and anything that they must to learn, must to be associated to their social context and they have to know the usefulness and the profit of any knowledge, in their life.
In his times, the people called him “revolutionary and ignorant”, but he wrote a lot of works translated in 18 languages; the most famous is “Pedagogia del Oprimido”, dedicated to all the people that feel identify with the poor people, suffer with them and fight with them.
He died in 1997 and today we remember him how an example of educator.
