Who was Paulo Freire?

Paulo Freire (1921-1997), the great Brazilian educator, left behind an extraordinary legacy of radical thought on education and social justice, not to mention friends and devotees around the globe. After his exile from Brazil following the military coup in 1964, Freire taught in Chile and was a consultant to UNESCO. He taught at Harvard and was a consultant to the World Council of Churches before returning to Brazil in 1981.

His best-selling work, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" (1970), called for a revolutionary restructuring of education.

His methods have been adopted by progressive educators worldwide. More.
