Answer to Question #303584 in English for KEN

Question

 What is “banking education”? Further indicate why, in terms thereof, “the student is reduced to the level of an unthinking object with no views, values or capacity to engage with the facts

Answer 1

The banking concept of education is a metaphor created by Paolo Friere for a teaching style where teachers "deposit" knowledge into students’ minds like they are piggy banks. Friere claimed this approach, which was common in the 20th century, sees students as passive learners who are given no scope for creative freedom or critical thinking.
