Annotations:
According to Wikipedia, banking education is a term used by Paulo Freire to describe and critique the traditional education system. The name refers to the metaphor of students as empty containers which educators must deposit knowledge into. This reinforces a lack of critical thinking and knowledge ownership in students, which in turn reinforces oppression.
