Introduction:

The schools as centers of education of the next generation are important institutions in 
a society. But they are nothing without teachers. 
 
In the history of humanity, there were many teachers or pedagogues before the 
existence of any school. 
 
In the reading societies, the teacher becomes a person who also transfers academic 
skills. Along the history of pedagogues, they have had great importance in the transfer 
of knowledge to children and young people. Most of them are now forgotten. But a few 
of them stand out because of their particular activities. 
 
PAULO FREIRE 
 
He was born in 1921 in Recife, Brazil. He became a famous pedagogue who devoted 
his teaching to the poor and oppressed in his country. He was educated as a lawyer but 
preferred to work for the poor, because from his youth he had chosen to the fight 
against poverty and oppression. 
 
When Brazil became dominated by military rule, Freire was imprisoned because of his 
progressive ideas about education. 
 
Later, he returned to his birthplace where he promoted alphabetization of poor workers 
and peasants. The idea of Freire was that at the same time they learned to read and 
write, they should also learn about life and reality. 
 
After the agrarian reform, the introduction of a Christian democracy and the organizing 
of agriculture by the United Nations, Freire published his first book on education as a 
practicing freedom. 
 
The book was well received and the pedagogue was invited to visit Harvard University 
in 1969. The following year, he wrote his most famous book, &ldquo;Pedagogy of the 
Oppressed&rdquo;, which was published worldwide in several languages. 
 
Paulo Freire worked as a consultant for the World Council concerning educational 
reform in Africa, especially in Guin&eacute;-Bissau and in Mozambique. 
 
Paulo Freire was a person who cleared up and convinced the poor peasants of new 
forms of looking upon the world and doing things differently. There are today still poor, 
both peasants and others, and there are people in many versions of being oppressed, 
and which need a language and means to conqueur their lives. 
 
In this task, you will concentrate on learning about Paulo Freire and his pedagogy of 
the oppressed.
