A social, economic, and political theory that criticizes capitalism and argues that education reinforces class inequalities.

🛠 Key Ideas in Education:

Education legitimizes inequality and keeps the working class (proletariat) in false consciousness.
Schools train workers to obey rather than question.
Knowledge is controlled by the ruling class (bourgeoisie).
Political education is needed to create class consciousness.

📢 Effects on Students & Society:

❌ Schools do not teach students they are being oppressed.

📖 Curriculum supports capitalism and creates a workforce obedient to the system.

⚖️ Real education should make students aware of social injustices.
