To Study Is Not To Consume Ideas,

It Is In Our Incompleteness, Of Which We Are Aware, That Education As A Permanent Process Is Grounded. Women And Men Are Capable Of Being Educated Only To The Extent That They Are Capable Of Recognizing Themselves As Unfinished.

It Is Not Suprising That The Banking Concept Of Education Regards Men As Adaptable, Manageable Beings.

Only Through Communication Can Human Life Hold Meaning.

Finally, It Is Important To Make It Clear That Imagination Is Not An Exercise For Those Detached From Reality, Those Who Live In The Air. On The Contrary, When We Imagine Something, We Do It Necessarily Conditioned By A Lack In Our Concrete Reality. When Children Imagine Free And Happy Schools, It Is Because Their Real Schools Deny Them Freedom And Happiness.

The Role Of The Educator Is One Of Tranquil Possession Of Certitude In Regard To The Teaching Of Not Only Contents But Also Of 'correct Thinking.'
