Half a century after Freire, schooling remains both transformed and unchanged

Evidence

It has been over fifty years since Paulo Freire’s revolutionary work Pedagogy of the Oppressed was originally released, providing us an opportunity to reimagine and reinvent how his work can be applied in twenty-first-century classrooms. Since the publication of that landmark book, the educational landscape has changed vastly and in other ways has not changed much at all. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 712
