ABSTRACT
The aim of education has moved beyond the idea of knowledge that the welfare regimes conceived. It is about skills, which in turn is about training an individual to be unconcerned about the oppression and exploitation that goes on around her. It is a tacit consensualisation for the existing order of things that has acquired dangerous proportions in times of what the author calls a ‘fascisation of society’. The chapter discusses what critical pedagogy as an instrument or possibility to counter these processes of consensualisation and fascisation means. It is argued that critical pedagogy, while locating itself within the labour-capital dialectic, must also move towards exploring the possibilities of organisation or how its teachings can lead to a situation of counter-mobilisation.
