is that the pedagogic style and curricula are very often
irrelevant to teaching adult learners. A cursory acquaintance
with the general educational system in the West Bank shows
the predominance of authoritarian pedagogy and curricula
based on rote learning and memorisation, both of which are
directly related to a colonial educational heritage, which is
still largely existent today in schools and even in the
institutions of higher education. (13) If such pedagogy and
curricula forms are transferred into adult educational
programmes they are likely to meet with very limited
success.
Paulo Freire has referred to this concept of educational
practice as the "banking concept of education". This is based
on the notion that the illiterate or student is a passive
recipient of a "knowledge bank" from the omniscient teacher.
Freire defines this style of education thus:
Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in
which the students are depositories and the teacher
the depositor. Instead of communicating, the
teacher issues communigques and "makes deposits”
which the students patiently receive, memorize and
repeat... They do, it is true, have the opportunity
to become collectors and cataloguers of things they
store. But in the last analysis, it is themselves
who are filed away througn the lack of creativity,
transformation, and Knowledge in this (at best)
misguided system. (14)
For Freire this style of teaching is perceived as repressing
the creativity of students in the learning process and as
such is an education for "domestication" rather than an
education for “liberation”: it is a pedagogy of oppression
