To Study Is Not To Consume Ideas,

Teachers And Students (leadership And People), Co-intent On Reality, Are Both Subjects, Not Only In The Task Of Unveiling That Reality, And Thereby Coming To Know It Critically, But In The Task Of Re-creating That Knowledge. As They Attain This Knowledge Of Reality Through Common Reflection And Action, They Discover Themselves As Its Permanent Re-creators.

It Is Absolutely Essential That The Oppressed Participate In The Revolutionary Process With An Increasingly Critical Awareness Of Their Role As Subjects Of The Transformation.

Education Either Functions As An Instrument Which Is Used To Facilitate Integration Of The Younger Generation Into The Logic Of The Present System And Bring About Conformity Or It Becomes The Practice Of Freedom, The Means By Which Men And Women Deal Critically And Creatively With Reality And Discover How To Participate In The Transformation Of Their World.

No Pedagogy Which Is Truly Liberating Can Remain Distant From The Oppressed By Treating Them As Unfortunates And By Presenting For Their Emulation Models From Among The Oppressors. The Oppressed Must Be Their Own Example In The Struggle For Their Redemption (freire, 1970, P. 54).

Organization Is Not Only Directly Linked To Unity, But A Natural Development Of That Unity. Accordingly, The Leaders' Pursuit Of That Unity Is Also An Attempt To Organize The People, Requiring Witness To The Fact That The Struggle For Liberation Is A Common Task." "leaders Who Do Not Act Dialogically, But Insist On Imposing Their Decisions, Do Not Organize The People--they Manipulate Them. They Do Not Liberate, Nor Are They Liberated: They Oppress.
