The SACP works to organise, educate and lead the working class.
For the immediate purpose of this set of studies called Basic Communism, it is necessary to have a theory of “pedagogy”, or in other words a theory of learning and teaching. This theory we get from Paulo Freire, the great 20th-century theoretician of liberation pedagogy.
He it was who gave us the word “conscientise”. It is Paulo Freire, more than any other, who showed how the bourgeois education system, with its “banking” theory of pedagogy, does not educate but reproduces the class relations that suit the bourgeoisie. Education, which should by nature liberate, is made by the bourgeoisie into a means of repression.
How can we make sure that education is part of the building of socialism and communism? To ask such a question is to “problematise” education. To ask such a question is to begin a “dialogue”
In the dialogical method of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, otherwise called Critical Pedagogy, there is no elementary, junior, senior, matriculation, undergraduate, post-graduate, doctorate or professor level.
The Introduction linked above gives a fuller opening to the text, but of course, the text itself is what is most valuable to read.
