The banking concept of education is a traditional teaching method where students are treated as mere store – houses of knowledge and teachers are seen as depositors of knowledge. This old concept of teaching has been prevalent in the society until very recently where people has started to question the impact of this teaching method. Paulo Freire in his text The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education has interpreted this concept very lucidly. Through this essay I’ll be focusing on the topic - why Paulo Freire’s concept of Problem Posing learning is way better than the banking concept of education.
