Dr Cesar Rossatto conducted an interview with Pablo Freire this was the last interview of Pablo Freire his life time. CR: Specifically, what would you like to see your supporters practicing or constructing? PF: Look, the one thing I always talk about, and that I hope to see in others as well, is that I am perpetually driven by my own dream. I am convinced that any progressive educator, any humanist in the broader sense of the word, can never repress or file away his or her Utopian dreams; otherwise, he or she has lost the battle.

Gracias  The banking concept of education, a subtle violence. Freire talked and worked with educators; in our time, schools have became a business like models of pursing capitalist interest, therefore the mentality of oppression has infiltrated schools grounds, walls, administrators, curriculums that obey standardization. Consciousness never had significant impact on educational practice. Freire (1973) argues educators ought to be aware of their participation in the learning; participatory education is when students, parents and teachers are involved. For instance in Mexico, a very strict instrument of evaluation has been designed to control teachers.
