Due to his heavy concern, he began creating studies to help understand why so many of these students were illiterate. He discovered hat there was two types of learning, the banking method and the problem-posing education.

within. He is very right in saying that the process of teaching is akin to the banking system. This often leads to a poor relationship between the pupil and the almighty instructor. However, is this relationship and the teaching method a package deal? The current approach to teaching is the banking concept, which can lead to an oppressive environment, which is caused by the poor student-teacher relationship. I agree that a different teaching method could be more effective, but I do not agree…

Edwardsville High School is making active tries to be more problem posing through electives, but the required class use the “banking”…
compelling his audience that “the banking concept method” creates a problem for future generations. In the essay, his purpose is to show new generations how different education system work. His only goal was to divide education systems into two parts: “Banking Concept” and “Problem-Posing.” He states the banking concept is a horrible way of teaching and prevents students from learning the process and think of a solution on their own.
