A quote from the presentation of Mr Kurian during one of the Strategic Planning sessions.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Paulo Freire) and Deschooling Society (Ivan Illich) have discussed at length the politics of education. True formation must decolonize the mind. There is nothing more damning than the illusion of a unique, singular, uncritical and choiceless identity. "If traditionalism were proper, the prophets would merely have followed their own leaders and not come with new messages" (Akbar and his India).
Along with Oscar Wilde, we could remember from time to time, that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. Provided, of course, the freedom to think is at the service of the freedom to authenticity.
