Author(s): Manas Khan, Dr. Laxmiram Gope
Abstract:
Education has long been powerful tools for social transformation. Educational philosophy and its role in social transformation have been greatly influenced by the ideas of thinkers such as Paulo Freire, John Dewey, and Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar. Freire promotes critical pedagogy and social justice, Dewey emphasises experiential learning and democracy in education, while Ambedkar regarded education as a tool for eradicating social injustice and inequities. This study finds out their contribution by analysing how their Perspective still influences current issues about education and its function in bringing about social change. This study gives a broad idea about how education may be used to eliminate systematic injustices, foster critical thinking and enable people to take part in the social and democratic processes that characterise a progressive society.
