More about the book
Deficits in affordability, access, and effectiveness plague the U.S. higher education system, with many mainstream reform proposals proving inadequate. Paulo Freire's philosophy of liberatory education offers a critical perspective, particularly through his critique of the banking system of education. This analysis reveals the shortcomings of current practices and suggests the problem-posing method as a transformative approach. The book applies Freire's ideas to the 2006 Commission on the Future of Higher Education report, advocating for meaningful reform in educational practices.
