Deschooling Societies
The problems with existing knowledge system, noted from Ivan Illich
1. The problem of the Banking system wherein the teacher is seen as a (knowledge) bank and students come to the teacher for information.
Such a setup does not allow the creation of a new layer over the existing knowledge that students possess, rather cuts off their roots of thinking and re-base it in a new thinking tradition.
2. It builds unnecessary hierarchies which is not fruitful. The teacher, by design, has more power over the student.
It asserts and sustains power hierarchies of the teacher over the student curtailing liberal thought.
3. It doesn't really help in knowledge production, rather it reproduces existing knowledge.
