Role Of Oppression In Education

The strength of these approaches is that it urges educators to recognise that’s there is a great diversity among all students and more importantly, that the majority of students are marginalized and harm by the various forms of oppressions in schools. Educators have a responsibility to make schools a place that are for all students, no matter their race, culture or sexuality. Educators should also not ignore the students that are different, and they should also not assume that their students are “normal”.
According to Kevin Kumashiro these approaches has its limitations and there are at least three weaknesses. The first one is that educators can’t only focus on who the other are treated, and ignore other ways oppression plays a role in schools.
