Educational projects, unlike systematic education, can precede revolutionary political power

Evidence

But if the implementation of a liberating education requires political power and the oppressed have none, how then is it possible to carry out the pedagogy of the oppressed prior to the revolution? This is a question of the greatest importance, the reply to which is at least tentatively outlined in Chapter 4. One aspect of the reply is to be found in the distinction between systematic education, which can only be changed by political power, and educational projects, which should be carried out with the oppressed in the process of organizing them. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 129

Categorization

• DEFINE: Distinguishes ‘systematic education’ (needs political power) from ‘educational projects’ (doable now) — directly feeds the reader’s redesign.
• QUESTION: Exactly what counts as an ‘educational project’ carried out with the oppressed in organizing? The chapter defers to Ch. 4 and leaves this thin.
