This is the ‘banking’ concept of education, in which the scope of action allowed to the student extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits; They do, it is true, have the opportunity to become collectors or cataloguers of the things they store. But in the last analysis, it is men themselves who are filed away through the lack of creativity’. Freire, Paulo, The Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Penguin, 1972, pp.45–46Google Scholar.

One wonders, for example, whether history teachers, operating the traditional school syllabus, ever feel ‘unqualified’ or ‘unprepared’ to teach Italian, German, Russian, Irish, Scottish or Welsh history. Indeed, in England, in the context of ‘British History’ one feels that the ‘Celtic fringe’ has less a profile than Africa!
