Dialectics in Education

I have been deeply marked by the vision of education proposed by the Brazilian author Paulo Freire (1921-1997) in his most reputed work, The Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

We don’t have good politicians, bureaucrats, administrators and business men in the country because we don’t have merit-based system to develop leadership. we select leaders on the basis of our caste and creed.
