Paulo Freire, in his philosophy of education, aims to liberate people from educational banking system which seems to be traditional way of teaching, the teacher imposing knowledge on the learner. In order to achieve this aim, he offers problem-posing education. According to his method designed as an alternative to traditional education models, education should not be provided through one-sided imposition by teachers. This study provides information about problem-posing education model while it also compares this model with the most common traditional education method, which is called banking education by Freire. The work thus examines Paulo Freire's educational ideas-looking at the theoretical innovations of Freire, its impact on the development of educational practice and the development of critical pedagogy and critical literacy, showing that Freire's liberal Education is a prerequisite for critical consciousness. The study will use expository, analytic and evaluative method. This will help to give opportunity too to the learner to participate effectively in the process of teaching and learning through dialogue and consciousness.
