1& %!eory o' alue What knowledge and skills are worthwhile

learning? What are the goals of education?

Education should raise the a*areness o"the students so that they beco)e sub4ects&rather than ob4ects& o" the *orld. 1his isdone by teaching students to thin,

from other species? What are the limits of

human potential? The ability of humans to plan and shape the

world for their future needs is whatseparates man from animals. The oppressedmajority must be taught to imagine a better

way so that they can shape their future andthereby become more human.

i)pose their values and belie"s. ;hile nointentional har) is intended& this process o"tenresults in the oppression o" less privilegedpersons.
