In the schools of modern pedagogy, critical pedagogy occupies a decisive position. It sharply criticized the contemporary capitalist school education, believing that this kind of education not only aggravated social injustice, but also became the source of social differences, social discrimination and social opposition. This paper will deeply discuss the theory and practice of critical pedagogy, and explore its methods to solve educational and social inequality and injustice.

Education is more than just imparting knowledge.

Critical pedagogy holds that the function of school education is far more than imparting knowledge. It is an important tool to reproduce the dominant social and political ideology, cultural relations and economic structure.

"Enlightenment" between teachers and students

In order to break the unfair situation of education, critical pedagogy advocates "enlightenment" between teachers and students, pursues "liberation" of consciousness, and actively seeks strategies to reform education and social inequality.

The key to solving practical problems

Critical pedagogy is the key to solve the inequality and injustice in education and society. By criticizing and reflecting on the existing education system, it put forward a series of reform programs, which made important contributions to the development of pedagogy.

Diversified schools of pedagogy

In addition to critical pedagogy, modern pedagogy has diversified schools such as pragmatism pedagogy, experimental pedagogy and cultural pedagogy. They have made great contributions to the development of pedagogy from different angles.
